Idk where else to put this but I just need to let y'all know. If you have any BFRBs, I really can't recommend NAC enough. I have trichotillomania, dermatillomania, and dermatophagia and they have gotten SO bad recently. Especially the trich. My psychiatrist said he saw a study that said taking N-acetyl cysteine or NAC tablets help, but none of his clients have tried it so he told me to let him know if it works.
I've only been on them for 3 weeks and I have seen such major difference, I'm pulling and biting and picking way way way less frequently now. Sometimes I feel like I go a whole day without it. I feel like I can finally see a light at the end of the tunnel. It's a supplement so you don't need a prescription, I got a bottle for $8 at The Vitamin Shoppe. I take 1200 mg daily but I see some people say they need to take 1800-2400 for it to help.
After feeling out of control for so long I feel like I'm finally gaining some semblance of control back and I feel a lot happier and more confident. Now I just have to wait for everything to grow back lol. But please look into it if you haven't found anything else that works!
