Hi Larry.
> I think that N-acetyl cysteine (NAC) might be worth keeping around. It's a precursor to glutathione, and biochemical oxidative stress is quite strongly associated with glutathione depletion.
> NAC is good for you, in any case. Excellent for your liver and brain. I've never noted the slightest psychotropic effect, or side effect of any kind from taking it, but over time, my brain began to work much better than it had been. My stressor was pain, but also sympathetically mediated. I don't know that it matters what the stressor is, so much.I have two bottles of NAC just waiting for me. I would like to wait until I stabilize on the generic lamotrigine first as not to confound the interpretation of my resultant state. I plan to take this substance indefinitely, though. I am hoping that it encourages the recovery of brain tissue and at the very least prevents the loss of any more. NAC does appear to be an ideal supplement to prevent some of the toxic effects of stress.
How much are you taking?
I am still undecided as to what would be an ideal dosage.
