N-acetylcesteine for tic control?

[keeptrying]

I have read a lot about the potential for NAC (N-acetylcesteine) to help control OCD and Trich but is there anyone that has had success with or used it for TICS? I just got some information from Dr. Leckman that a study is starting on NAC for TS. I understand it is safe with very little side effects.

 

Any info??

Cheri,

 

Did you ever use NAC? I don't see it in your signature. The studies are very interesting. I'd love to try it, but am worried because my son is only 5. I don't want to over load him with any kind of "meds" natural or otherwise. I'm hoping to talk to his integrative doctor about it the next time we meet.

no, we have never tried NAC for my son.

 

I did suggest it a few times, but he has been very reluctant to try any new supplements for a while now, especially when what he is already taking is working........
