Took NAC today

Posted by maliko @maliko, Dec 1 10:58pm

I bought a bottle of Jarrow's sustain 600mg NAC (N-Acetyl Cysteine) supplement. I took one tablet this morning and within 15 minutes, I started feeling really flushed and got extremely sleepy, tired, and dizzy. It lasted about 3 hours and slowly subsided. I did not notice any improvement in my cough or throat clearing. Has anyone experienced this when they took NAC for the first time? Will my body adjust to it? Thank you

I was on it for 14 months and it did the trick along with Azith and ethambutol. Over several months I got a nice tan. Thats it. I think a lit depends on your natural skin tone. I have very light skin with freckles. Everybody is different and reacts different. I was extremely stressed about it prior to starting clofazimine and it turned out I didnt need to be.
