But this medication is not recommended to be taken by your own because you may miss some important side effects. Side effects include flushing, stomach upset, vomitings,headache, dizziness,liver damage in some cases.Niacin can also raise blood sugar levels in some cases. Taking the drug during or after the meals can help people to develop a tolerance to flushing and to sometimes decrease it.
While you are on niacin, the effect of high blood pressure medicines may also be increased.
The urologist warned me the effects are cumulative, meaning the more treatments you receive, the greater the possibility of side effects. Most common are painful urination and flu-like symptoms, including joint pain. Doctors consider the risk of these side effects to be offset by the rewards of the vaccine. Fortunately, I did not have any adverse reactions, but the staff told me other people reacted differently and really had problems with the BCG treatments.
t have enough self control to lose any weight. I had muscle pain and memory loss with statins, flushing and finally facial swelling with niacin supplements. The memory loss was so bad, I sold my veterinary practice and retired BEFORE the lawsuit. I ran for exercise until I wore out my left knee, now I walk.
Again, these labs are before any medication.
I quit taking it, and within 2 weeks they were gone, despite an allergist not finding it. I tried Vytorin, had muscle and joint pain. But in the past few years, taking simvistatin and a few others, it has been a mood/anger issue. My wife complains, telling me I'm pain to live with, I argue all the time, go off at the slightest thing. And I have to admit, I can feel it too. In doing things around the house, if I run into a difficult task, I get aggravated and frustrated very quick.
hi Abulafia, welcome to the forum here. Simastatins were in the news again this week- they are suspected to be nowhere nearly as effective as the statins.
My DH was just at the cardiologist this week and had niacin added back into his regimen. He is an open heart patient, doing well now, but battling the inherited high cholesterol.
His Cardio doc said to ramp up to 1000mg a day - he has him starting with 100mg twice a day to start. It needs to be titrated just like so many other drugs.
I'm on Simvastatin (40mg) which have some nasty side effects, like cramps and muscle spasms. Can you reommend an alternative?
My dad, for example, it taking only one fourth of the low dose of Lipitor and it is working great at bringing his LDL down to 79. Muscle pain is the side effect of statins, but in a smaller lower dose you may not have the pain and it still may work for you. You may also want to take a look at your diet. Red meat, for example, raises LDL levels. I lowered my LDL from approximately 130 to 79 by eliminating red meat for one year (it has now been 13 years since I had beef).
Yes, I've only been on it a week and I experience the muscle aches and bilateral flank pain as well. In addition, insomnia!
Hey there! Congrats, truly, on taking charge of your health. I know it's always something we wish we didn't have to do when we start new medication but better than a coronary event, right? Rosvin F is two drugs in one. The tablet is a combination of Rosuvastatin and Fenofibrate. As such, it lowers BOTH LDL or and triglycerides (which will bring down your total cholesterol). Exercise or any physical activity is supposed to help with HDL. Also factoring into the ratio.
m going to try taking Niacin which is a known blood vessel dialator, and Ginko which has similar effects. There is also accupuncture, which can relieve some types of spasms, but it can also create spasms. In addition to the Niacin and Ginko, I think I'm going to try some yoga poses standing on my head, which engage and strengthen the neck muscles near the ear.
