    NAC in some studies has shown improvement in PD symptoms. Have you tried NAC, if so, what dosage and how often?  Has it helped you?

    After discussing NAC with Joe’s neurologist (primarily interested in it for obsessive/compulsive behavior) he is taking 2 600mg capsules 4 times a day.  Interestingly enough it not only helped the o/c he also started speaking more clearly with less searching for words.  This was almost overnight and initially took 300 mg 3 times a day.  Dr suggested upping it to the 600 mg 3 times a day as that was what they were using in a trial I had asked him about.  I just recently upped it to 4 times a day.  Not sure if that is making a difference.  When I ran out of NAC  and it was about 3 days before I got more there was a marked difference.   He was definitely down.  Plan to deliberately withhold the NAC for about 3 days in the near future to see if the same thing happens.
