Hello there. My daughter was diagnosed as well. Went on potassium citrate but that wasn't enough to lower her cysteine levels. She's now on a combo of Thiola and potassium citrate and finally her numbers are stable. I'm in the states, so not sure if Thiola is only available here. There's only one pharmacy in the nation that administers it but it's been a God send. thiolaec.com/

Hope this helps!
