I think most of Hoffer's work was with niacin. He was pretty adamant about getting the flush, then developing a tolerance to it.
That said, that doesn't mean that niacinamide does not have its uses as well.
Has anyone tried taking high doses of niacin while *not* on psyche meds? That's something I'd try for sure if I weren't already on a steady cocktail.
If I take it with the meds, I get what I take to be an overly stimulated serotonin system, where I basically feel too relaxed and spaced out, probably because the body doesn't need to convert (as much) tryptophan to niacin.
