I have been taking NAC for ten days and I have to say this has become a miracle drug for me. I take 1200mg twice a day, pill form, early morning and about 3pm in the afternoon. Prior to taking this I stopped Cipro, Oxcillin and Lebo, none worked or bad side effects. I was deperate. I had a serious exacerbation that went away after three days of Cipro, before quitting. Here is what NAC has done for me.
1. Eating normal, great appetite again. Working on getting my 40 pounds loss back.
2. Energy level vastly improved, no longer walking around like a Zombie all day.
3. No early morning gagging, coughing, etc. Much less coughing.
4. Sleeping better.
I asked Gemini Pro why would this be happening beyong just thinning my mucus and got a lengthy explanation, scientific at times, that explained all the other benefits I am getting. I am almost 89 years old.

@picartist That seems like a very high dose--with remarkable results. Was 1200 mg 2 x a day recommended? I admit to no noticeable difference after taking 600 mg daily for around 6 months, although my BE causes very mild symptoms as long as I maintain adequate fluid intake and daily moderate to high intensity exercise. Thank you for sharing your experience.

@picartist That's a really encouraging post. I'm taking NAC but only 500 mg midday, because I'm still on Mucinex per doctor's instructions. I am just curious, are you also taking Mucinex? And are you doing nebulizer treatments twice a day? Sounds like your exacerbation was treated with only 3 days of Cipro (which the bacteria must have been sensitive to) and then your (NAC enhanced) airway clearance protocol? This must feel like a new lease on life!
I hate the early morning gagging also.
