Niacinamide -not helping- how long to take effect?

Posted by Melanie-00 on December 6, 2010, at 13:53:24

I heard that niacinamide has benzo like properties and helps with anxiety. I briefly took klonopin several years ago, so I have some idea of what benzo-like effects would be (that is, would feel like), though I haven't taken any benzos for a long time.

Due to bad anxiety, I started taking niacinamide about 3 days ago. The first two days I took 500 mg 3X/day (total 1500 mg/day). Then I upped it to 2000 mg (500 mg 4X/day).

Unfortunately, so far, I haven't noticed any effect on my anxiety! I've heard some people say that niacinamide should take effect almost immediately. Others have said that it could take several weeks to notice any effect.

Should I continue to give the niacinamide a chance? Do I need to do something else to make it be effective? The only other medication that I'm taking right now is inositol, which I've been on for a month or so. (Inositol doesn't seem to help my anxiety either (well, not much, anyway), but I've continued taking it because it has seemed to help with other health issues.)

Thanks for your response.
