I'm currently stable on Abilify, Klonopin, and Depakote. I'm also taking 4-6 grams/day (divided into 2-3 doses of 2 grams each) of niacinamide. So far, the results have been pretty cool--reduced anxiety, some mild sedation, and an overall sense of "calm." I've read that niacinamide can reduce the risk of tardive dyskinesia, which is one reason I'm taking so much of it. Also, I've found that my skin is looking pretty awesome, which is interesting since topical niacinamide products are hitting shelves claiming to do all kinds of cool things for skin.
Anyway: I was just wondering...am I taking too much? I read that for schizophrenia dosages sometimes went up to 30grams/day. Anyone have experience using niacinamide w/ongoing psychiatric med treatment?
I should also note that I'm also taking selenium and melatonin to prevent TD from the Abilify.
