niacin and alcohol

I started him on Niacin(B1) yesterday, and he is better. I guess Niacin is depleted during severe alcohol use, and it is important for brain function. He received injections of it in re-hab. he switched over to drinking massive amounts of soda when he got out, and that can deplete it too.

Exercise, Niacin, Fibrates ( such as gemfibrozil) and some statins can all raise HDL. Alcohol consumption in moderation can also do this. Whereas there is a strong link between low HDL and risk for cardiac death and heart attacks, there is very little evidence that increasing it with drugs ( appart from gemfibrozil and Niacin) actually improves patient's mortality.

If you want to lower your triglycerides, try taking Carlson Lemon Flavored Fish oil, a tablespoon twice a day, this will help to lower it, and is also good for any inflammation in the veins and arteries.

Eat walnuts and almonds. Drink grape juice. Eat more garlic and foods that contain fiber (vegetables and fruits). Take supplements: calcium, copper, and a good multiple vitamin. Exercise and eat small meals all day long. Don't smoke and drink alcohol in moderation. Ask your doctor about crystalline Niacin. If you drink brewed coffee, think about switching to instant which doesn't contain cafestol and kahweol which raise cholesterol levels.

He even stopped taking a multi vitamin and stopped using a shampoo that contains niacin because he saw a site on line that some people have a high sensitivity to niacin and it might be cause for the elevated enzymes.

(uh oh) Anyway, I checked and found that someone with liver disease (I have mild inflamation and no fibrosis) should not take over 35 mgs. of niacin per day. This stuff I bought at the drug store has 25 mgs. of niacin. Is is all they had , but I am thinking about returning it. IYO - is it safe for me to take this or should I return and look for plain ol B12 liquid.

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

Call it mind over matter or whatever but I started taking Niacin and inositol last week. I have felt a steady improvement in my mood and anxiety levels each day. I have been taking a B Complex, 100 mg everyday for the past 2 months. The Niacin I take is 400 mg so that is a 500 mg/day dose. Yesterday I bumped up to 400 mg in the AM and 400 at night. There is definely an improvement that I feel. i am not 100% yet but I feel better than I did a week ago.

Just as with statin drugs, it is necessary to get regular blood tests (ideally every 6 months) to ensure there is no liver damage.

Yesterday I had another episode of neck and facial flushing. I was at work and just a little stressed from running behind and I turned bright pink and splotchy mainly on my neck. I also got really overheated and a little shaky. I wasn't nervous or embarased. It lasted for about and hour and a half and then went away. I work as a hairstylist and everyone is asking what's wrong with me.
