To answer the two previous posts.

I would encourage you seriously to try and fight the hypochondriasis as I have learned from my mistake of stopping it the first time. My psychiatrist (head of UCLA) and nutritionist told me to take it easy and go up 600mg every 2 weeks. The body takes time to adjust to such a POSITIVE supplement. All of my breathing problems have since passed and my lung capacity has improved tremendously. It feels real because it is real but the side effects are for good reason. I trust my psychiatrist with my life and he would never prescribe me something that was not thoroughly tested.

In answer to your question about SSRI's my doctor feels like it is a great ADJUNCT to SSRI's like Zoloft which I am on. He is right. I have included some articles in a previous post on how NAC compliments SSRI's. It has taken me 6 months of patience to feel a major difference. He warned me of this so I was prepared for it.

It has helped tremendously calming down my overreacting brain. Before NAC my brain was on over drive. My brain was sometimes attaching to something (however the inositol and my cocktail curtailed things tremendously) like embarking on a new job, a new relationship or traveling. The inositol has helped me break my chain of thought and the NAC has helped me literally stop worrying all together. I don't think it would be nearly as beneficial if I was taking NAC alone (although it is extremely powerful) but it clearly accentuates the inositol and zoloft.

I used to have to back out of everything i.e. if I made travel plans I would back out because I would worry about it. Now I don't worry about it in the first place. I know it is scary to embark on a new supplement as it is unknown but it is worth the pay off. The shortness of breath will fate ggg unit as it did for me. Please try and be patient and remind yourself that it will pass. Please message me if you have ANY questions as I would be happy to share my experience seriously. I have not tried memantine but have heard positive and negative things about it. I am grateful for NAC.

Joseph
