Has anyone tried using the supplement NAC before? I read it has helped a lot of people, but unsure if this is true!

@Anonymous My psychiatrist advised me to take 2 600 mg in the morning and 2 600 mg in the evening. She also recommended I take Olly for stress. It has a few other natural remedies. I will keep you posted how Olly works as I have just started taking it.
Anyone take myo inositol? I heard it can help with anxiety/ocd/sleep. I’m going to take 1000 mg of it and magnesium supplement at night.
I use it and it works very well for me.
@organizedchaos How much do you take and how often?
I have, but was taking a dose lower than what the studies showed to be effective, so that's likely why I didn't find it made a difference. This reminded me to try again and set a reminder for myself. Like an adult 😂
Also interested in supplements!
NAC helps with dermatillomania.
Hey everyone, I’m curious if anyone here is managing their OCD without SSRIs. I’ve personally struggled with side effects in the past such as low libido and emotional numbness. I have plans to have a family and kids in the future, so SSRIs don’t feel like a long-term solution for me—I’m especially afraid of PSSD (post-SSRI sexual dysfunction). Are any of you managing OCD with alternatives like Wellbutrin, SNRIs, Adderall, NAC, Myo-inositol or any other supplements. Even approaches like the ketogenic diet or other functional methods? I read some studies about how Keto diet has helped some people put their OCD in remission. I’d love to hear what’s actually working for you. Trigger Warning: Sometimes hearing that people can’t manage OCD without SSRIs can be discouraging, but I’m staying hopeful that there are sustainable alternatives out there. Thanks in advance for sharing.
Can people please share their experiences on very low dose medications for their OCD? Maybe ones that have worked well with little side effects? Anything is helpful & thank you
I have tried a few different kinds of antidepressants over the years, but it's always been hard to find one that works well for OCD and doesn't have horrible side effects. Does anybody have any recommendations of one that worked really well for depression and OCD??
