Hi Melanie,

Thanks for the article information. I was able to download the entire paper. It is a nice comprehensive overview of many of the different OCD alternative therapies that I have researched. Nice to have it in one paper.

My son has been on 2400 mg NAC, 18 g Inositol, Omega 3, Vit. D since 6/8/2013. He ended up getting overwhelmed with the amount of pills he was taking a few weeks ago, so we agreed on just taking the NAC which I felt was the most important. So far it seems to work okay.

Are you having good luck taking NAC?

Thanks,
Joy
