Hi Guys
Great news that the niacin is working for you Ron. When I took 500 mg of niacinamide I did get a mild flush, but nothing like you would get on niacin. I currently am not taking the niaciamide. I had severe sleep troubles last week and it was due to a host of factors, some may be related to the doses of niacinamide I was taking. But, as Larry said, I will have to use process of elimination to see what contributed.
Good news is the remeron is working rather well. Today I have less pressure on the forehead and the staring/focusing problems have improved. This seems to be working so I will hang with it. The amazing thing is I was able to drop my benzo dose. I hope to drop the TCA and think it may help my side effects. It is hard to know how the two drugs interact. I would love to get down to just remeron and lithium. I refuse to give that up for it's neuroprotective function. IF, and that's a big IF, I will add some vitamins and supplements back. I need to get Larry a response to his question about sleep.
I have not tried Trazadone, but thought it might be better for sleep since it is not a benzo. I have some issues, no facts mind you, about my benzo use and increased depression. I thought trazadone may give me good sleep with some AD benefit?????
I was actually productive this week on remeron. My ability to understand what I have gone through the past year has also been heightened and I can think more rational. But, at times I get a little to excited. It appears many things are firing inside this bucket of a head of mine.
Larry, I loved the O-chem stuff. The best grades I got in college were in O-chem. Take care you guys and keep us posted on the niacin.
