Ha, well touché!

Seriously though… I don’t really know much about it because I didn’t take it very long before the cardiologist ripped it out of my cold dead hands… but…

I was under the impression it has an upper effect for those without ADD. I dunno, but I was able to have a clear mind and could actually finish a task… but, I get by without it, so once I learned it was not healthy, I never looked back.

Oh no, it doesn’t at all . . . but that’s a common misconception! I wasn’t trying to put you down :slight_smile:

And it’s actually not very unhealthy, as long as you keep it to therapeutic doses. People who are prescribed Adderall (usually) eat less, are more physically active and weigh less . . . which aren’t bad things. (It should absolutely be a prescription drug, though; it’s easy to abuse.)

How significant are the blood pressure and heart rate increase at therapeutic doses? Also is therapeutic considered something like 10mg?

I’ve used adderall maybe ten times all the way back when I was a college student to study for exams but that was long before I knew anything about health.

Hasn’t affected mine over the last three years I’ve been prescribed! Yes, therapeutic dose is anywhere from 10mg to 60mg per day.

I leaned the hard way that it is important to drink a big glass of water when taking NAC. Apparently, it is very acidic. Btw, has anyone noticed a reversal of presbyopia? I have been taking glynac and taurine on alternate mornings, and I think my eyesight is improving. Or perhaps it is all of the carrots and parsnips I’ve been eating.

Yes. I’ve noticed my eyesight is getting better, but I wasn’t sure what to attribute it to.

I’ll just share the couple of notes I took:

He takes 600mg per day … 1200 on occasion.

He said try not to take it with a lot of protein

Ideally take it on an empty stomach, but you might want to try taking it 30 minutes prior to a meal to avoid digestive issue.

I’ve been taking 100mg of NACET… I wonder how that compares to NAC.

And wow @Ray1 and DeStrider about your eyesight improving!
