I take 3 500mgs capsules of Vitacost brand niacinamide 2x daily. Today I'm trying 6 grams (6 caps, 2x daily). Feeling a little tranquilized, but otherwise fine.
I also take Jarrow Formulas Taurine. They come in 1,000mgs capsules. They're on perma-sale at www.vitacost.com and elsewhere. I take 3 capsules 2x daily, for a total of 6 grams.
When I started, I jumped right into the full doses of each. If you wanted to, you could try it more gradually, like taking 500mgs niacinamide plus 1 gram taurine 2x daily, and then work up as needed. 3 grams niacinamide was/is pretty standard for orthomolecular treatment of anxiety disorders. Larger amounts were/are sometimes used for schizophrenia and other more severe disorders.
I saw on vitacost.com that there's a relatively inexpensive niacinamide that comes in 1500mgs time release capsules. That might be worth trying. When I have to reorder I may just order that stuff.
