niacin rush

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.

of niacin for high cholesterol this per two different doctors. Since I started recently on Armour I am noticing lots of bruising...some the size of a fifty cent piece. They seem spontaneous. I have about 12 right now but not all are that size. When I mentioned the bruising to the nurse at my doctors office she dismissed it saying she bruises easy too. ?? Has anyone else had this problem? I have tried lowering the aspirin to 162 mg.

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?

Huh. That is interesting. I am a big proponent of taking vitamins in their active or "whole food" form. They are more easily metabolized so you get more of the vitamin's potency. But then there is a big movement away from vitamins, too, and toward getting nutrients from food. If it were me, I'd go to a "Health Food" store and ask for the folic acid, B6 and B12 in the "whole food" form or liquid/sublingual form.

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?

Here again (the disclaimer), I am not a doctor. But if you were a normal adult WITHOUT ADHD, than you should have gotten a rush from the meds. If you have ADHD, the effect is more subtle. No rush, but ability to concentrate, etc. improves. If you have ADD, the effects are even more subtle since you don't have the lack of filters/hyperactivity characteristic of ADHD. The fact that you didn't feel any difference would indicate the possibility of ADHD/ADD.

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 am bipolar and have taken niacin for years....I took 500mg of niacin the reagular kind not the no flush kind It did cause me to have a niacin flush (which is typical)...it has never caused me trouble with mainia only made me flush wich eased anxiety and caused me to be tired afterwards...It might affect others diffently though. Nician is a B vitamin and B vitmins can cause you to more energetic you shouldn't take them in excess esp if you have bipolar....

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 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.

I want to take benadryl to orevent a niacin flush, but im worried the niacin wont work.

m in my early twenties and workout, a couple months ago I took a vasodilator supplement which later I found contained nicotinic acid(essentially niacin I think) in a high dose. I felt what it's called a niacin flush, tingling and warm feeling all over.. I did my workout and after went to take a shower, that's when I noticed a big red patch in my left foot and two small ones on my right foot.

Drinking hot drinks or alcohol can also increase the flushing, so it is best to avoid these when taking the niacin. Also, niacin should not be taken with certain drugs. I don't know what other medications you are on, but you should check with your pharmacist and make sure that they are compatible with the niacin. You should contact your doctor and let him/her know about your reaction to the drug. You and he/she can decide together whether it is best to stop the niacin, or continue.

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.

valve replacement 2001, redid bypasses. I was on 40mg Lipitor and 500mg no-flush niacin for a number of years with moderate sucess. I subscribe to the Cleveland Clinic Heart Newsletter. In the July 2007 issue there was suggestion that 1,500mg niacin was a good statin supplement. Starting in July 2007 I followed this suggestion, taking 1,500mg slow-release niacin with the Lipitor. I have biannual blood tests.

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

They told me the results would be back that day, when I hadn't heard anything I called & got my results the next day - I don't think a lot of OBs rush to call you unless it's abnormal.

I CAN NO LONGER AFFORD NIASPAN, CAN I TAKE NIACIN OVER THE COUNTER OR VITAMIN B3 WILL IT HELP THE SAME I WAS TAKING 500MG AT BEDTIME
