I was using the Solgar brand (it's pretty big in the UK). Yes I did switch to it in the morning (forgot a dose for about 3-4 days and took it in the evening, wow what a mistake that was) and that was fine.
I'm just a bit sceptical about the dosage that you are taking, I mean, recommended is simply 600mg if that. At the start, what (positive) side effects will I be looking at if I try 2400mg~, and should I work up to it? I think my abrupt stopping of NAC has led to some depression (I literally can't be bothered to do any of my university work, although when I go out with friends I feel great, maybe it's just when I'm alone).
On a side note for your OCD, do you have any behavioural addictions that you are aware of that NAC has managed to curb or compulsions and obsessions that you think less of?
But relating to your original issue, maybe the release of the NAC is the issue when you change the brand name. Have you tried emptying the capsules and putting the contents in another type of capsule? I'm just a newbie but I think that might benefit you.
All the best with the treatment,
Chan Fook.
