Thanks for your suggestion! Do you guestimate I should experiment with stopping the Niacin?
I am intrigued by this notion that NADH builds up in the body over time. Is there any way of measuring the levels of it I wonder, or is dosage just determined through good old trial and error?In lieu of recovery from depression I highly recommend the book ‘getting your life back' (a gem of cognitive behavioral therapy.) Be well!
