trying NAC again for MGD.. started today

[dijon84]

Thanks very much for that Mario, it all makes sense. I have to say I found it a bit shocking the initial effect NAC had on my eyes (and I only started with 150mg per day). I never realised the effect that supplements / diet could have. Gritty sensation in the eyes gone within a few days, plus a new greasy sensation in the eyes (far more pleasant than grittiness I might add). These new sensations died down a bit a few days after but overall my eyes feel better since starting taking NAC

hyperhead and dijon84.. ive been takin NAC 600mg 2x a day.. is that too much? where do u find pills smaller than 600mg? im in the states..thanks!! hope u can help.. i cant split the capsule unless i drink it..ughhhh.. u think 600mg 1 x a day is enough.. i took it years ago and i swear my mgd was so much better-but i have sjogrens too so i never know if i am dry from it or mgd or both..thanks!!!

I will need to do some more reserach about this (but if someone can help me cheat by posting some links to previous posts or what not since the server is broken in a ways, or just links to other sites that be awesome) and maybe i can present it to my cornea speacialist thursday to see if we can give this a try.

Jenny are the capsules powder form ? If so break it down into 4 x150 mg wrapped in a rizla or toilet paper then bomb it down 600mg is too much to start with..start with 150mg and work up and make sure you take it with twice the amount of vitamin C and a multi vitamin to help with maximum absorbtion.

i took the 600mg all at once but amnot taking 1200mg anymore.. i used to take 600mg and thought it helped... is it that impt to break down the dose into 3 doses..? i do take with vit c as well
