Before all this started I was starting to take Niacin but I experienced the Niacin flush which was rather dramatic in my case. I think I started with 500 and then switched to 250mg.
Morgan also suggested the magnesium, I will give it a try.
It is interesting because I have psoriasis and have been taking lithium which has been causing the psoriasis to flare. I met with my pdoc yesterday and he agreed to lower the lithium. I had started taking magnesium in the mornings but didn't take it today and was feeling more anxious. I assumed it was the lithium but maybe it was the magnesium.
As I understand Niacin expands the capillaries and increase blood to all the cells and is supposed to have a cleansing effect. It's possible that it increases the blood flow to the brain which would explain why lower dosages were needed. I'm just guessing; I don't have a medical background so I could be way off base.
Thanks.
