niacin overdose how much

My husband uses those little bottles of 5-HOUR ENERGY drinks. I read the label and it has extremely high amounts of Niacin and B12. I know certain vitamins are stored in the body while others aren't. Are these B vitamin doses safe on a regular basis? Also what happens to the body when high doses of B vitamins are ingested like this?

Guaifenesin, how much is an Overdose? My daughter 11 years old 100 lbs (big for her age), took (the correct dose) 5mL cough and cold medicine that had the following in that dose. Guaifenesin, USP 100 mg, Dextromethorpan HBr, USP 10 mL. Phenylephedrine HCI, USB 5mg. But then she also took (the correct dose) 10 mg of a prescription medicine Guaifenesin-Codeine syrup (generic for Robitussin AC syrup). It doesn't state on the label the quantity of Guaifenesin mg in the 5mL dose.

My symptoms started a few days after I started taking a new multivitamin that has 5 times as much of the daily requirement of Niacin (B3). When I googled the symptoms of Niacin overdose, low and behold, I had three of the five.......itchy, dizziness, constipation. I am thrilled to be able to get a full night's sleep again. I decided to post my experience in hopes that it may help someone else.

Hi ladies, i'm currently taking 3 different supplements (1) pregnacare, a pregnancy tablet that most women in UK take, (2) Calcium Sandoz, a calcium efervescent that my doc in Switzerland prescribed because Pregnacare doesnt contain calcium, and (3) Balance PL, a protein powder that my doc here in India prescribed to mix with a glass of milk twice a day (she knows about the other two supplements i take).

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

I know shrimp is high in iodine and maybe eggs and dairy too. I think I might have had too much iodine and caused my thyroid levels to spike. I guess I will try to avoid seafood for awhile. I've been trying to eat healthy and it's backfired. Soo annoying! I'm not supposed to get my thyroid levels checked for 6 more weeks, if it happens again I'm calling my DR.

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.

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.

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?

Hi, I'm fine. I did have the warmth and tingling sensation after 10 to 15 minutes of taking the supp but that was the only symptoms. I posted a pic of the rash but I think it wasn't approved yet, I'll probably be seeing a doctor in the coming weeks. But it would be nice to have an idea of what it might be and how to treat it, I live in a small town and the doctors don't know much about these things, so I might have to go to a specialist, but what kind?

ER nurses and doctors are trainned to see signs of drug overdose. If they suspect overdose they will get you the help you need. Panic attacks will not have same symptoms. So I agree with everything that hadenough123. It has been a while for me also since I worked ER.

Does anyone know how much tylenol intake will cause liver damage. I ask this as have read a few help posts and some people are taking 20 norcos a day which is 10mg of opiate and 325 mg of tylenol. I was doing some math and taking 20 a day adds up to almost 1/4 ounce of tylenol a day, or 1/2 lb a month and a whopping 6 lbs a year!!!

Having Chromium and Niacin listed as separate ingredients would not be the same as Chromium Picolinate. Separately, (Niacin would be niacin and Chromium would be Chromium plus one of the chelators). It can get very confusing, but with all of that said, per the National Institute of Health "...given the limited data on chromium absorption in humans, it is not clear which forms are best to take.

i had a similar experience where i found how much better i felt taking vitamins but then after a while they made me ill feeling. i figured out what worked for me was not taking them religiously, but taking them after a few days of not taking them. i would also take half the dose in the morning and the other half in the afternoon so it didn't spike the levels in my bloodstream and also probably didn't lose as much through urinating.

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%.

How are you doing? Havent heard from you in awhile. Go ahead and pm me again if you want. I want to know whats up? It sounds like you are coming a long ways since a couple of weeks ago. There is so much you can use for w/ds. This site is full of great info for sleep, anxiety, RSL on & on. I always used alot of liq. vit/min and bs to get going and used the relaxa magnz, Ds, cal for sleep. The salt bath are great. I got used to my sleep vit I was using and had some issues.

My friend is starting to go down the same road that many of you have (I'll admit I've popped a few every now and then) and i don't know when to tell him how much is too much at a time(needing a visit to the hospital). He mainly uses Hydrocodone and Lortab could anyone give me a ballpark estimate on how many mg's he should stop at?

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.

it depends how much your friend was consuming before he swallowed? i knew people who would sit and blow a 1/4oz in a sitting it deends on his tolerance.

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

Most flush-free niacin isn't very strong, especially niacinamide, which probably does nothing. So if you're going to try large doses, you might have to endure the flush. You also should do this in conjunction with your physician or a naturopath, as too much niacin can be dangerous. It can also affect your levels of other B vitamins. I've heard of it being used for anxiety, and it does calm the heart. It energizes those who need it, so I don't know about it making you tired.

Call me crazy but I think 20mg of Xanax is a boat load in a 24 hour period!! That might kill a person who doesn't have tolerance and even one that does!! Does she drink alcohol as well? A deadly combo! The largest dose of a single Xanax is 2mg...and that's going to put most people out for a bit or get really relaxed...

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.
