Amazing supplement
I suffer from OCD and social anxiety, and NAC really helps with both of these conditions. NAC also seems to lift depressive moods. Physically, I feel healthier too. As with most nootropics, I take this first thing in the morning on an empty stomach. I feel the effects after about 10 minutes to an hour, and I continue to feel them all day to some degree until bedtime. My personal experience with this product: Pro's: -HUGE reduction in anxiety -HUGE reduction in “ruminating thoughts” (anxiety or distress over past events or mistakes) -HUGE increase in focus and productivity -Overall sense of well-being, reduction in depression -Increased creativity Neutral: -Colors seem brighter -HUGE increase in libido (may be a pro or a con for you) Cons: -NAC is very stimulating for me. One time I took it before bed, and it took me much longer to fall asleep. Now, I simply never take it before bed. -I can't lie, NAC sometimes makes me feel “weird” but it not unpleasant, but I do not take it daily for this reason. I simply cannot deny that there is a change in consciousness, but it is nowhere near the change that you would experience from a low dose SSRI, for example. Finally, There is no denying that NAC helps tremendously with alcohol hangovers. I typically take 2 right before I go to bed after drinking (this is the only time I take it before bedtime). I used to get headaches that last for several days after drinking, but this product pretty much eliminates these. Some people have said that they take NAC before drinking, and I've noticed that when I do this, it typically takes 3x as much alcohol to get the same effect. This may be a placebo however. I put this at the bottom because I don't want to encourage unsafe drinking habits. Some people experience a reduction in Asthma symptoms, but I did not notice any change. I have Samter's Triad so maybe I am not a good one to assess this benefit as we tend to not respond to conventional treatments. Overall I strongly recommend this product
