I waited until I only had 2 doses of NAC left before ordering more. So, when the NAC shipment didn't arrive before I ran out, we had a day without any NAC. What a difference! I had wondered how much the NAC was helping before we ran out, but now I know. V was irritable from 10 am until 3pm, either acting out or laying in her bed resting or sleeping. She never had a community outing because it would have been unsafe to take her out until she was calm, and 1 mg of lorazepam (ativan) did not help her. She did better in the later afternoon and evening. We still don't have the new shipment of NAC and I am hoping it arrives today. Now I can see that she is much more relaxed with it than without, and it has reduced the need for sedatives to take the edge off of her irritability, which I don't want to use any more often than necessary for safety.
