Too Soon To Tell
Niacin 500 no flush
Too Soon To Tell
put on it 12.06. no side effects yet! a little flushing but not so bad. when upped to 1000 mg XL, I have dreams that my skin is melting and wake up to burning all over. especially if I miss a dose.
Too Soon To Tell
Possibly mild suppression of ringing right after "flushing" caused by the drug, but no noticeable change in overall pattern. Ultimately, Niacin didn't work.
Too Soon To Tell
Started 12/07 b/c Trigs too high, also helps increase HDL's and Decrease LDL's. Take a baby aspirin 20 min. before to decrease risk of flushing...and take it at night.
