NAC is working!?
i started taking NAC about two weeks ago, starting with one supplement (600mg) and gradually taking 2 a day, and now 3 when needed. i currently have no side effects that i’ve noticed. i am so grateful i am giving NAC another shot. i attempted to take it in 2021 but would take 2 at once in the morning only and very inconsistently. the key is spacing it out. i take it morning and afternoon, plus night if the urges are bad (u cannot exceed 2,400mg). i haven’t pulled my hair more than 5x a day (like only 5 STRANDS total) for i think a full week now, which is strange considering most studies say it takes weeks for it to take effect. i will say, i had lots of motivation to resist and change prior as well as starting in a less stressful point in time for me. i’ve had trich for 9 years now, i pull 99% of hair from my scalp and have lost at least 3/4 of my thickness and have given myself more bald spots than i can count over the years. now… i suddenly have hope. i have a much easier time telling myself to stop in the moment or resist entirely. i try to just physically itch the “tingly spots” and distract myself after. that’s never really worked well until now. i hope this continues, im manifesting it will. i hope this can inspire someone to start this supplement if they’ve never tried.
p.s. NAC supports wayyy more than just BFRB’s including depression, OCD, schizophrenia, heart health, metabolic health, respiratory health, bone strength, immunity, liver protection, memory, insulin resistance, etc. CONSULT YOUR DOCTOR AND OR PSYCHIATRIST FIRST!
