In reply to Niacin vs Niacinamide, posted by mrtook on December 15, 2010, at 15:00:11
I take niacinamide myself...no flush, I don't need the cholesterol lowering, it makes sense. Combined with Abilify and other supplements, it works for me.
If you opt to take niacin instead, just be sure that your healthcare practitioner hooks you up with regular liver testing. I think both forms can cause elevated liver enzymes. I got liver testing for depakote when I first started taking "mega-doses" of niacinamide, so I know that it doesn't cause any problems for me, even combined with potentially liver-destroying meds.
Anyway, I wish you luck, whatever you choose; just be sure to get those blood tests periodically.
