Re: Niacin not good with medication

In reply to Niacin not good with medication, posted by Lao Tzu on March 24, 2010, at 11:45:18

Niacin does affect the amount of tryptophan synthesis, and I've read it can affect the catecholamines like dopamine. That's why I say if you are taking medication that affects these neurotransmitters, it may not be a good idea to take very high dosages of Niacin. A little Niacin probably does not hurt at all, but I was taking up to 1,000mg of Niacin a day, and I think that complicated things with my medication. I seemed to be more sluggish during the day. That being said, high dose Niacin has produced wonderful results in schizophrenics not on medication. So all I say is just use caution with high dose Niacin if you're taking psychotropic drugs. There may be interactions between the two.
