N-acetylcysteine
The amino acid N-acetylcysteine (NAC) is emerging as one of the most important supplements to support recovery. A leading theory of compulsive behaviour is that the glutamatergic system within the brain is underfunctioning, which increases cravings and compulsive behaviour. Because NAC regulates the glutamatergic system in the brain, it satisfies the brain's reward centres, and reduces cravings and compulsive behaviour.
Numerous reports, pilot studies, and randomized controlled trials have confirmed the efficacy of NAC for nicotine addiction, pathological gambling, cannabis dependence, and cocaine addiction. An effective dose is 2,000 to 2,400 mg once daily about 30 to 45 minutes prior to breakfast. It must be taken without food or else the amino acids derived from dietary protein will interfere with NAC's effectiveness. There are normally no side effects with NAC, but some patients have complained of gastric upset.
