I agree with Morgan on the fish oil. Even a small dosage can help. Some people also need omega-6s in addition to the fish oil, but not everybody needs the omega-6s.
In answer to your question, I have tried niacinamide, but unfortunately, it doesn't work for me. In fact, I stay away from any form of vitamin B3. I just can't tolerate it.
I am also on medication. A heavy dose of Risperdal for psychosis, Zoloft for depression, and Lamictal for mood stability. I find, however, that adding the vitamins, minerals, and fatty acids, and a couple herbs helps tremendously above and beyond what the meds do. Don't get me wrong. I wouldn't be where I am without the medication, but the supplements just make me feel a whole lot better.
I am a believer in combining supplements with medication, and I have done it successfully so far over the past 4 years since I started the Risperdal. I would say that my psychosis and depression are so much better than they were a few years ago. It's much more manageable.
I'm glad the niacinamide works for you. It does wonders for some people. Unfortunately, I always felt worse on either high dose Niacin or niacinamide. I don't know why exactly. Everyone told me it was great, but I never got the feeling it was for me.
As far as the B vitamins go, I actually do much better on B1, B2, and B6. If you have psychosis, B1 and B6 would definitely be beneficial, and perhaps B12, if you tend to be deficient.
How is the juice fast working for you?
Thanks for your post.
