Trying a trial of Niacin again. I take 500mg at bedtime only, and it seems to help my depression the following day. I can't take it during the day because it causes me to have mood swings sometimes, especially if I take a large dose. Because it may lower histamine over time, I also take chelated calcium/magnesium at bedtime only to further help lower histamine. I tend to be a high histamine person, and I can't figure out if Niacin lowers histamine over time or raises it. I know folic acid raises it, and I've been taking folic acid lately, but I can't seem to tolerate it on a continuing basis. I have to take days off. It does help depression, but I think I may be sensitive to it.
