Avatar m tn Could the 34mg reading be the result of the substantial LDL decrease? For the past 20+ years my triglycerides have been in the 160-200mg range. The sudden decrease to 29 and 36mg seems strange, (to me,).
1063764 tn?1272821064 t want to end up taking too many vitamins. I also take calcium with vitamin D in it. The niacin supplements I bought say they are "flush" free. Also what is the best time to take them? I've read that they can make you tired. Thanks for any help.
Avatar f tn Okay my bf was on Crestor and it was too much for him the dr had to take him off and put him on something else. I can't remember the 'new' med he just got the prescription because he has been on Lipitor and and one other one I can't remember, then Crestor, and now something else, but the doctor keeps changing due to complications it causes.
1495437 tn?1288798915 Hi, welcome to the forum, symptoms are suggestive of drug allergy and are mediated by release of histamine in the body. Your body is known to hypersensitive to Niacin. Flushing, hypotension is known adverse effect of niacin in some individuals. The spectrum of these reactions can vary widely; reactions may present as typical allergic symptoms (eg, itching, urticaria, rash, edema) after a single dose, or may manifest as severe idiosyncratic dermatologic reaction.
Avatar n tn This has been accompanied by anal burning/itching and a general feeling in body of having eaten too much pepper. I would think after all these years, my body would've adjusted to the niacin and it wouldn't react this way, but I've seen a doctor, had blood tests and I still can't rule the niacin out as the source of the rash.
Avatar m tn Definitely the fan is a HUGE help, along with restricting your diet on the items vicki mentioned. They went on for me for quite a while but it stopped and I'm sure it will for you too. I honestly just figured it was all the toxins getting out of my body in any way they could and that meant through my skin with all that sweating. It's probably not very scientific but it made me feel a little better about it! Hang in there - and congrats on the clean time! Well done!
Avatar f tn If it's already in the multivitamin and then I take more in an iron supplement, will that be too much?
Avatar n tn Could the Niacin I took still be causing this or did the Niacin trigger something in my body? I was never allergic to shellfish in the past. What else could be at work here?
Avatar n tn 00 PM) Because of Liver enzyme levels and cholesterol that was reduced too much, I have cut my niacin regimen to the following in 12/2007 but have not yet taken another blood test to gauge the effects: 500 mg of SR [sustained-release] niacin at 8:00 AM; 500 mg of IR niacin at 4:00 PM; and, 250 mg of SR niacin in the evening (11:00 PM) (So, I additionally cut 250 mg of SR niacin in the evening.

475570 tn?1280941363 Here is the basis of what they found. They were able to produce additional HDL particles, however the new particles are smaller in size and do not have a protective property against CAD. The naturally occurring HDL in your body is better at doing it's job than the artificially produced HDL. The reason the trial was stopped was because they were not seeing any reduction in cardiac events between the Niacin control group and the placebo control group.
Avatar m tn useless, only eating foods reach of antocianins, increasing d3 levels, epa+dha 2g i solved fatty liver and got very low bmi in few months and never had exsercise again since then i never obtain anything from exsercise except loss of some kilos, no effect on blood levels or fatty liver, while antocianins got me to the weight i had as a teen which looks stange on an adult you look very very thin so i do believe exsercise is necessary but some natural substances in the diet and d3 can do so much

Avatar f tn Niacin is essential to a healthy diet but too much can cause you to turn bright red, hot and itchy. It's usually found in such low doses in foods, that it won't happen unless you take niacin tablets directly, and too many of them.
Avatar f tn I feel exactly the same I just want her here because the wear & tear my body is going through. I'm feeling impatient cause EVERYTHING hurts.

Avatar n tn (I know it sounds strange, but many people are realizing the health benefits of yoga poses, especially those where the heart is positioned higher than the head.) One site I read said that surgery to cut a certain tendon near the ear was the way to relieve the fluttering, but this sounds pretty extreme. I'm going to try the natural route!
1135275 tn?1586565652 Niacin is toxic in too high a dose. Niacinamide isn't, and so that's usually used for mental health purposes, but it doesn't yield a lot of niacin. Niacin will also give you a hot flush on your skin, unless you buy a non-flush niacin, which is usually, again, niacinamide. Niacin is usually used for the heart.
Avatar f tn I would check and see if it's a side effect of the meds. I asked about the niacin because that's the effect it produces. That's also a lot of milk, given most humans can't utilize the stuff well. But I'd go with the meds and see if maybe that's the source. It could, for example, be the trazadone wearing off, or just a side effect of it. Meds for sleep interfere with normal patterns of sleep and can cause a lot of unusual effects.
