Hey. I take niacinamide for anxiety and mood stabilization. I used to take 6 grams a day; now I'm down to 3grams (1gramx3) along with taurine (2gramsx3) and I feel A WHOLE LOT BETTER. It took a while to take effect (think several weeks...like taking an antidepressant), but when it did start working, it REALLY worked--I was calmer and more rational under stress. I'd recommend a b-50 or b-100 and some vitamin c, too, just based on personal experience.
Most people don't advise going over 3 grams. I took a higher dose based on reading some case studies from orthomolecular psychiatry, then lowered it to the more standard 3 grams. If you're into natural remedies, you could maybe use some valerian or something for the first few weeks to help you calm down a notch while the niacinamide starts working.
I really think you should try a slightly higher dose for a month or so before you give up.
Good luck.
