niacin withdrawal symptoms

My boyfriend was on Librium for 2 days, for alcohol withdrawal. Eight days later, after leaving the re-hab facility, he is still talking slow, and acting a little zombie-like. How long does it take to come out of short term Librium use? The doctor said 2-4 days, but it has been twice that long.

I had been having these HORRIBLE headaches, nausea, dizzy spells, confusion, and crying spells out of nowhere. This all brought me to do a little bit of research and I found out it is all withdrawal symptoms. I don't want to start taking the pills again since they did not work for the reason I was taking them. That being said does anyone have any suggestions on what I can do to help through these withdrawals without having to take a different kind of drug.

I've been on oxycodone for the past month and want to stop. It's been 54 hrs since I stopped and the withdrawals aren't pleasant and wa wondering if niacin would help clear the drug out of my system so I can stop feeling like hell?

I take fenofibrate 160mgm along with lovastatin 40mgm daily. Could they be causing muscle pains all over my body?

I could not find anyone else who had had a mania symptoms with niacin. However, it was clearly what I was having. My daughter was hospitalized with mania on Wed. (2 days ago) and I am starting to wonder if her situation was aggravated by the 500 mg of niacin she has been taking over the last 2 weeks or helped. She is now on Olanzapine (50 mg) at bedtime until she gets a consult with an outpatient urgent care. DOES NIACIN CAUSE MANIA?

m not a typical case, but have you ever heard of someone, after taking a lot of niacin for many years, suddenly developing a persistent rash with other symptoms like mine?

How much Niacin were you taking daily? Was your physician aware you were going to take the Niacin to lower your cholesterol? Were you taking any other medications at the same time?

I hope this is it. Is this possible? by the way, I think niacin helps. Niacin helps when our brain gets stressed and adrenaline produces a hormone that makes us feel bad. I took niacin today and that seemed to help. I will keep posting until I am done but I must thank those few who did give me feedback here. I didn't get very much feedback. but what little I got really helped. Thank you.

I am a 32 year old female that took 3 Niacin supplement pills in 1996. I was told that they would de-toxify my body, and is very healthy for me. I took the pills before bed one night, and was lying there feeling an intense burning all over my body, my esophagus was on fire, I stood up unable to breathe, and gasped for air, feeling light headed, I went to the landing on our staircase trying to get downstairs, that was the last thing I remember.

I tried Benadryl, and my doctor put me on Medrol dosepack, but still kept me on the Niacin. Even though the Niacin was discontinued weeks ago, I still have some of the same problems. Tests for allergy to peanuts and shellfish were negative. I ate a few shrimp yesterday and exercised, and woke up today with hives that are itching; I feel fatigued and my skin feels uncomfortable. Could the Niacin I took still be causing this or did the Niacin trigger something in my body?

Anyone tried niacin B3 therapy, or know of any success stories with natural treatments for schizo-affective disorder?

Hi, I had a blood draw in April of 2009 and all of my numbers were perfect accept for my cholesterol was a little high. I was told from friends that Niacin helps as well as fish oil. So, over the past 8 mths I took 500 mg a day of Niacin and fish oil and my new blood draw came up with a perfect score in the cholesterol area but my Bilirubin total was elevated at 1.4, Iron UIBC low at 102, Iron serum high at 175 as well as Iron Saturation at 63, and my biggest concern was my TSH high at 5.08.

ve been taking 250 mg of Niacin. Based on the previous TSH told me to decrease to 150. The last dosage said to decrease to 125 mcg. Is this weird?

I was thinking today of if taking niacin would make the opiate come out of your system faster... i've heard of people taking higher doses to get drugs out of their system to pass a UA.. has anyone tried this?? or do you think it will work??

I just want to add that this was a study of Niaspan - the time release version of Niacin - and not Niacin.

ve found a supplement for every withdrawal symptom... except night sweats. Anyone have suggestions on 1. Something natural to take or 2. When will they stop! Thanks in advance!

Niacin is important for the conversion of carbohydrates, protein and fat into energy! Adults need about 16 milligrams a day. Almonds, Niacin Content: 1 oz, 1 mg Daily Value: 6%. Eat them right before you go the gym. Their high in L-arginine that can actually boost your carb and fat burn during your workout. Navy Beans, Niacin: 1/2 cup, 1.5 mg Daily Value: 9%. They contain resistant starch, a type of fiber that boosts calorie burn by up to 23%.

What is the purpose of the niacin and should a niacin supplement be administered if the medication does not contain niacin?

Hello. Well, I had a question.. I've been hearing and reading a lot of posts from people about their experiences with the Niacinamide supplement, and how effective it seems to be with people suffering from anxiety. I just got myself the thing.. but I'm having thoughts on whether to take it or not. I'm currently on Xanax a .5 mg every night. So even if I did consider taking Niacinamide, it wouldn't be advisable to take it while I'm on Xanax at the same time would it?

Well I just flipped out. I read niacin is helpfully with pain pill withdrawals so I got some.

By contrast, slow-release niacin preparations reduce the hot-flush effect by releasing niacin over an extended period of 12 hours or longer. Most of these preparations are unsafe and I do not recommend them. “No-flush” niacin preparations, such as inositol hexaniacinate and nicotinamide, are widely sold as niacin alternatives that do not cause hot flushes. In my experience, however, they simply do not work. In other words, no flush, no effect.

Hello, I have recently heard that Niacin is good for lowering cholesterol. Anyone have any experience with this?

Up until a month ago I had absolutely no withdrawal symptoms to speak of- my goal was to get to 100mg and I am there but all of a sudden I started having severe, unfounded anxiety. It is just a free floating dread that seeps into my entire life... I am constantly asking myself "what is the point?" destroying any peace I may find in my day. I am always just dreading the rest of the day, and the day after that, and the day after that... Is this a withdrawal symptom?

I was watching a documentary and heard about a case where a woman was put on niacin supplements for depression. She was taking very large dosages, but it completely pulled her out of her depression. So far fluoxetine has helped me, but I think in time I will need a larger dosage. I would really rather not do that, so my question is: is it safe to take niacin supplements of 100 mg daily plus an extra multivitamin with 20mg. I don't want to end up taking too many vitamins.
