I was having such severe flushing with just 100 mg
niacin that I finally gave up. The heat and raw itch
would start at shoulders and head and go down chest,
arms, and finally thighs. I'd be bright red like
sunburned. I could take all that ok, but a few times
I had a faster heart rate and I felt queasy and light
headed and just miserable. After a few weeks, it was
getting somewhat better. I'm going to start taking it
again, starting now with 50 mg.
I read this: Taking aspirin or non-steroidal
anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) at the same time
during the first 1 to 2 weeks may reduce this
flushing. Use of an antihistamine 15 minutes prior to
a niacin dose may also be helpful. The flushing
response may decrease on its own after 1 to 2 weeks of
therapy.
I definitely think niacin is better than taking one of
the drugs.
