> I've definitely got to promote niacinamide here. It's an over-the-counter form of vitamin B-3 (niacin) that binds to benzodiazepine receptors. A natural benzodiazepine! Studies say you should take 500mg four times a day, or one 1500mg extended-release tablet. This works well not only for treating the cravings/withdrawal, but for treating the anxiety itself. I take it each and every day myself. Good luck!
Yes, I also find nicotinamide (niacinamide) pretty helpful. I've read numerous studies on it on pubmed, but couldn't find any that would provide dosages you mentioned above? Could you please post those studies? I appreciate it.
