I just spoke with Dr. Leckman at Yale University about NAC. He said it has had much success with OCD Spectrum Disorders. I can not answer your question but wanted to offer that if you need more information regarding this, maybe you could contact him. He is very kind and willing to help. I am curious about its effectiveness with tic control.

My DD14 is about 135 lbs and she takes 600 mg capsules: 3 in am and 2 in pm. So that is a total of 3000 mg.

Our DS13 is about 140 pounds, and he takes 1200 in the a.m. and another 1200 in the p.m. He's also taking a fair amount of Vitamin C, which I understand is key to helping NAC work at its best, too.

For those of you using the NAC - is there a noticeable change? Is it helping? How long until you saw results if any? Also, anyone using it for tics?

Yes, I would say there was a noticeable change. Not amazing, but noticeable. I can't recall how long before we saw a change but I don't think it was very long. DD14 took it for OCD only as tics have been gone completely for over a year. She also takes 5000 IUs vitamin C per day. And she was taking L-theanine but we stopped it recently as it wasn't making much of a difference. Now that she is being treated for Lyme I'm hoping we will eventually get to the bottom of the OCD.
