Was it STRICTLY niacin? This is important. What is he taking now?
He suicided in 1978
I wish I had an answer, your post made me think about seeing if I could obtain his medical records. In my hunt for solutions to my mental illness, I have collected part of my dad's records. My mom is 82, and in our family we all have a habit of avoiding talking about all of the problems we experienced, particularly to her, as she was so unresolved about it for so long...she is better now and I think may even be willing to work with me on it, as she did with getting my dads records....
Right now I am trying to make sure my records are in order, as I have changed doctors. and I am having a hard time reading past the last couple of visits to the old pdoc. There is a reason I left.
Have you investigated Naturopathic Doctors? I work with one and have found him to be particularly knowledgable about nutrition and very willing to investigate cross medicine issues. He has said there is no known nutritional cure for what ailes me, possible bipolar 2, All my tests come back normal range with a sight variation for the meds I take (primarily depakote)
Hope you find some answers. If you have more questions, ask away. I may not have the answer but I am looking, too.
