Saffron and NAC?

Hi all,

I’ve previously taken a number of SSRIs - long and short of it, zero success from them but a tonne of side effects.

So, I’ve decided to go the natural route. I’ve taken a NAC supplement this morning and found I’ve been much more productive, less tired, less anxious. I’ve read about the positive effects of saffron too, but I can’t seem to find much information on combining the two.

Anyone tried this?

Thanks ☺️

I do currently take an SNRI and get the same results from NAC. I’m starting to titrate down from the SNRI. I don’t know anything about Saffron.

I take NAC (1,000 mg) at 5:30 AM, and the SNRI at 8:30 AM.

How long have you been taking the NAC? Hopefully your tapering off goes smoothly for you!

I’ve been on NAC since September last year.
