I'm hoping my fellow bluelighters have helpful information/experience regarding using NAC supplements for like longer than 1 month at least let's say. I'm hoping it will help with a myriad of issues but for 1 I know it can reduce inflammation.

Hmm, you don't say what you're actually trying to find out, that would help you garner more responses. What do you want to know?
Well last time I started using I was taking 600mg in morning and at night but I was experiencing bad stomach pain that I didn't know the NAC caused so I covered it up with weed use plus I got diahrrea from it and I'm just wondering how and if its possible to avoid those symptoms?
I am eating it with food each dose if I remember correctly cause food helps my GABAPentin absorb better. And Wait what aren’t pysillium husks fibre and make the diarrhea worse potentially?Sure, it's quite acidic. Take it with breakfast and dinner instead, that should alleviate both issues. Add some psyllium husks if your stools are still a bit loose.

Maybe I'm recalling it incorrectly and I didn't eat. I can try it again this time though what types of food will be best to help with this?I'm surprised to read that, perhaps NAC just doesn't agree with you? Psyllium husks should help firm things up as they absorb water and swell up, forming a gel. If you dissolve the NAC in a glass of water with the psyllium, that should help reduce irritation.
it should reduce GI side effects, yes, but it will also act as competition to absorption in the gut, making you absorb less NAC.... but this generally shouldn't be a problem unless you're trying to maintain a very specific dose.Will eating a lot of food alongside my NAC supplements prevent any diarrhea that typically occurs occasionally when I'm first getting used to taking it again. I really need a reply to this question A.S.A.P.

Taking NAC 90-120 minutes after eating should be the most efficient, without causing GI issues. Food generally stays in your stomach for 3-4 hours.
Various reasons to potential help with inflammation in the lungs and to help my anxiety & panic attacks or when I try lowering my dose of my prescribed benzos. Those are my main reasons and other things I consider benefits like it being a prescursor to whatever it is called that your body uses to metabolize things like acetmainophen in your liver without damaging it lol.I've never had gut issues from NAC, but what's kinda weird is I have had sporadic mild allergic reactions to it, particularly if I take it immediately after jogging or exercising. I am not allergic to anything. It's a very weird response from my body.
Also be careful taking NAC long term, it is a very potent thing and causes very significant changes in the brain. It should be cycled.
Why are you wanting to take NAC for long periods? (Weeks/months)
