Wish I would have known about this before I started taking Adderall! I've noticed the huge difference in on off days when I'm super lazy and not motivated beyond my old levels of motivation before I started taking Adderall.
Just got a bottle from Amazon. Here's a risk free, non-affiliate link to amazon for you lazies out there: https://www.amazon.com/NOW-N-Acetyl-Cysteine-1000-120-Tablets/dp/B00KT3H13C/ref=sr_1_4_a_f_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1500577223&sr=8-4&ppw=fresh&keywords=N-Acetyl+Cysteine

There have been some small studies that suggest this might work for some. I saw an IMMEDIATE improvement by taking it once a day with food.
This is a great resource about drug interactions and other stuff for you to evaluate before purchase

Edit:
My therapist also told me to give it a whirl cuz if it worked, cool! If not, at least we know. However, it is working so I’m into it
10000000% feel you! It’s such a weird, personal thing to talk about and never realized how many people struggle with this. I know one of my irl friends is on this sub, (if ya see this, hey T!!) and we bond over THE STRUGGLE that comes w picking!
My new psychiatrist is amazing and I guess there’s a lot of research showing taking OTC N-acetyl cystine pills can help reduce the urge/desire to do our weirdness... however they’re ginormous and it takes 8-12 weeks for your brain to change? I’ve been taking them for almost a month now and my legs are still looking ROUGH lol, but you proved here in your post that consistency is key, so imma keep taking my vitamins and hope for the best. Just thought I’d share 🤗
Idk if I drank the koolaid or what, but you can get them cheap on amazon prime soooo I figured its worth a shot :)
Edit: had to throw in your, legs are lookin SO good girl, I’m jealous!! 🥰🥰
NAC is #1 by far. I use this.

Unfortunately, #2 is much harder because so many of the compounds work synergenically. I'd choose Quercetin. This is what I use.

I've been in rock bottom for the past 2 years. I just started taking these last Friday & I'm very clear headed right now..

I find the NAC sort of similar to the L-Theanine. It is a marked but subtle effect. It does seem to help me deal with stressful situations. The NAC also has some added health (not mental) benefits such as liver detox. They are both non essential amino acids so kind of in the same family? These are the brands I take.

Reviews are somewhat helpful. Oh and one more thing, try them on an empty stomach to see how you feel.
I agree with your post. This might be very helpful. Read the reviews and discuss it with the child's doctor. Also google it. NAC is being used more and more frequently over the last couple of years to help what have traditionally been very hard to alleviate disorders like Trichotilomania (hair pulling), OCD, bipolar, etc.

This is all personal experience BTW. But NAC has brought me out of stim pre-psychosis and let me be able to sleep 20 minutes after dosing it.
