Wow, niacin is some powerful stuff!
I took 500mg with 1000mg vitamin C after lunch. I did not get a flush. Within an hour or so I started to feel more relaxed. The relaxation increased for several hours. I normally experience some anxiety in the late afternoon/early evening. I did not. However, I almost felt too relaxed. I did feel a bit sluggish. And when I took my Seroquel and Remeron at night I felt overly sedated, almost nauseous at one point. I had good sleep, but it was hard to get up in the morning. I am in the process of adjusting to an increased dose of Seroquel.
Now I am starting to wonder if niacin would work as an anti-manic (for someone who only gets hypomanic without antidepressants), but I don't think there is any way the doctor would go for it. I am not interested in straying from guided treatment, but this leaves so many unanswered questions.
