I take this drug in the morning. I take other drugs like statins before bedtime that I don't mix with the niaspan. The flushing is an issue but my big gripe is being lightheaded to dizzy sometime after taking the drug. I'll have to try some other time as I can't handle the dizziness.

I'm perscribed 1500 mg daily for lack of vitamin B3 and high blood lipids, and I have been on the medication for 3 months. Only have flushing problems if I take it prior to eating. No other side effects.

Being perimenapausal, I thought I could handle flushing. This was more like boiling from the inside out! One dose and out for me, and I have been itching like crazy for 3 days since. I think my Doctor was punishing me and I swear, I will exercise and eat right from now on!!!!

Cannot tolerate even a small dose. severe flushing and itching. Not worth it.
