(read the update below if you don't want to know the background)I was prescribed accutane for 5 months and anyone who knows anything about accutane has probably heard about its numerous side effects. On about the fourth month into the treatment, I started having memory issues but didn't quite realize it was from the drug because it was a slow and gradual change over time. Once the fifth month rolled around, it was too late, and I started having severe memory and cognitive functioning problems. I was about halfway done with college holding a 4.0 GPA and then suddenly failed just about everything during the semester of that fifth month of accutane. I had to put school on hold until things got better. Month after month went by and I still didn't notice any improvement in memory. Feeling helpless, I started searching for answers on how long it takes to recover. Searched all over the internet and saw a number of different doctors that all told me there are no meds to help reduce the side effects, and it will simply take time but should be better after about 6 months. A year and a half later, and I still have memory problems.. I decided to then do my own research and dig deep into the study of my mental issues so that I can diagnose myself because after all, I know the way I feel better than a doctor who has never experienced such a thing. By the way, this was not easy having memory problems and having small moments of time when I could actually comprehend something I was reading. However, I eventually did it and after verifying my research with various credible sources, I feel I have a pretty good understanding about what happened to me. Anyway, long story short, accutane chemically altered my body and caused an intense hormonal imbalance. I also discovered that NAC is a major part of my solution. I bought a bottle, and the first time I had used NAC, within about 20 to 30 minutes later my body felt as though a war was going on inside. I felt warm and sort of tingly but nothing of any real discomfort. I think that's just how bad the imbalance apparently was. But before long, I was overwhelmed with happiness because FINALLY, I could think more clearly again. This is not the cure all, but my goodness it helps. Since I have started taking this, I have noticed a much faster increase in my mental recovery. The big problem I still face is the memory encoding, but there is no drug to regrow the neurons that were destroy while taking accutane. NAC helps prevent the radical hormones from destroying neurons. Mind you, this all seems to be VERY new research and is not entirely understood, which is why the doctors couldn't really give me good answers. In my opinion, this should be given with accutane to be taken together. I would also recommend this to anyone with a hormonal imbalance. School has become a nightmare ever since taking accutane but NAC is my go-to drug for when I start to not think clearly. It helps me think clearly throughout the day, but not necessarily with the encoding of memory. Anyway, If you are interested in knowing more about what I discovered, let me know. The one side effect I noticed from NAC is that it sort of neutralizes your libido levels (because it promotes balanced hormone levels), but as for me, I can care less so long as I can think more clearly. I hope this helps at least one person out there.Update: 13 Apr 2016I won't go into all the research, but all of my research is found on either .gov medical websites (and I check their sources), and the studies I looked over were pulled from my school's scholarly sources library database. I now take N-AC with L-AC, omega-3's, multi vitamin, ginkgo extract, huperzine, vitamin D3, and magnesium citrate. As it turns out, people have done some of the work for me so I'm not buying all kinds of pills. I found a pill that combines the N-AC, L-AC, omega-3's, huperzine, ginkgo, along with a few others and works great. My advise to anyone considering taking accutane would be to take the natural route instead. Overall, my brain functions most efficiently when I get enough sleep, eat healthy, exercise every early morning, and continue learning new things. Once you can include this routine in your life, supplements absorb much more efficiently into your body. Thus, giving more optimal results from them. Not the cure, but helps a ton.

This has been a miracle supplement for my 7 year old son. I originally purchased it because I had read it can help with nose picking which my son was doing pretty constantly and claimed he couldn’t help it. He’s been taking one pill a day and over the course of a few weeks, I have definitely seen a difference in the picking. Even better, his whole attitude is so much more positive! This somehow has made him happier and nicer. I didn’t anticipate any of that, but it’s been a wonderful surprise.I should note that he really doesn’t like the taste and isn’t able to swallow pills yet so I break a capsule in half, pour the supplement on a spoon and cover it with applesauce. This seems to cut the taste for him.

My Son recommended this for me and I am glad he did .for my liver
