What about just taking higher oral doses? I'm not sure i see the big problem with a low bioavailable, 10% is enough to get proper doses by taking it oral.

Ya I bought 30 600mg tablets for 15€, I admit, I'm a cheap ass LOL.
I'm just trying to get the more I can cause wasting things has always bothered me. like with Hydergine which has an oral bioavailability of 1-2%...WTF.

Q: What is subthreshold depression?

A: Something that doesn't need to be treated!
 
I recall reading a report from a guy complaining of ulcer which he speculated was due to the mucolytic action of NAC in the stomach. Could this be a concern?
 
NAC is a great glutamate modulator as well as an excellent antioxidant. I have been taking 1 gram twice daily with excellent results. It works well for the negative symptoms of schizophrenia and has alot of research behind it for that use. Its just a bomb ass supplement along with Curcumin, the other super supplement.
 
I couldnt find in the web any really good hub of info for NAC. Thanks for the thread ! ;)


Anyone can guess a dosage for preventive measures with MDMA ?

I heard 2g of NAC? Is this too much or too little? I dont want over do antioxidants because its actually do more harm than good (paradoxal effect, creating more oxaditive stress - there's some interesting reasearch already done on topic)

Update: it seems NAC can do more harm than good, hard to say. after researching seems better to do low-medium dose like 500 mg - max 1g > http://www.bluelight.ru/vb/threads/...ugated-alpha-MeDA-metabolites-of-MDA-and-MDMA.

I get these in 200 mg effervescent tablets. I have used them a few times to ward off hangovers. The effect is not noticable enough from a single 200 mg dose to not be written off as placebo. I suffer from trich as well (hair pulling) and I had never heard about NAC as being used for this... I constantly scratch my beard and pull out a few hairs an hour. It feels so good when the hair finally leaves my skin, and when I look at it afterwards it feels so satisfying to know that the little black stringy thing is no longer stuck in me. I will try a large dose like 1 gram tomorrow morning to see if it reduces my compulsions to pull my beard hairs out with my nails throughout the day.

Edit: I forgot it this morning. Oh well. I'll try it now.
Edit2: Ew, five effervescent tablets in one glass of water tastes like eating out the asshole of an anthropomorphic lemon.
