Scott a friend old babbler suggested I write you and let you know how high dose niacin is allowing him to get well and give up some meds. This is high dose niacin. He also says I should take it. If you want his email he said to give to you. Personally I don't see niacin. Wonder how you see it for depression. Phillipa

This was one of the original ideas of orthmolecular psychiatry, appartntly based on he idea that niacin deficiency (pelegra?) sends you crazy, so therefor mega doses of niacin would cure all mental illness - flawed logic.
Probably nothing to lose by trying it, but I wouldnt expect a miracle cure
