Yes, Niacin supposedly binds to GABA receptors among other things. I personally don't like the niacinamide form. I can only tolerate a small dosage of Niacin, about 250mg per day taken at bedtime. This serves to help my depression, along with B1, B2, and B6, and in the winter, B12. Folic acid is strange for me. I don't think I really need it, but it does serve to help depression somewhat. I'm very sensitive to it, and sometimes I don't like how it makes me feel if I take it everyday. I'm going to stick with Niacin, B1, B2, and B6. These four really help my depression.
