Along with 160mg of fenofibrate, 2000 mg of Niaspan in 4 months reduced my Chol. fm 243 to 188; TG fm 497 to 107; HDL raised from 35 to 49. Very satisfied.

My doctor recently upped my doseage to 2000 mg a day. Has anyone else had trouble of being tired all the time and can't seem to get enough sleep?

My Trig were over 600, cholesterol over 425. With Lescol they were reduces to TG 400 and Chol 350. With NIASPAN I now enjoy a chol of 180 and a TRIG of 80. The flushing is the worst problem I have and I agree with another patient that this is severe flushing, itching, burning. It lasts about 1 hour. I WILL try applesauce before I take the pill. I have had trouble taking antibiotic with the Niaspan. I break out in hives and I previously had not been allergic to antibiotic. If I only take the antibiotic and not the niaspan I don't have a problem. I was switched to Lescol XL because of the pain in my muscles. Lescol does not involve the liver so I can take it without side affects.
