I read somewhere that Niacin can effect catecholamines like dopamine and norepinephrine, but you're probably talking about high doses to do this. Definitely, it would have an effect on tryptophan levels, and it also effects histamine as well. It's a multi-faceted supplement. So I don't know for sure on what level it would interact with my meds, which consist of an antipsychotic and antidepressant. Certainly, Niacin may be boosting the effect of these meds, which could explain the side effects I get from taking it. I think the effects on histamine complicate the depression, and may be the real reason that overall, I don't like this vitamin as part of my regimen. On the other hand, I think Vitamin B2 helps calm me and makes me feel less depressed without acting on histamine levels. I'll stick with B2.
