Niacin and HDL

[tommy39]

I know this is not the supp. sect but i know alot of you have kicked your GOOD cholesterol in the gutter with winny Ect. Anyway there was an ad in the newspaper today about how they are finding that niacin over a long period is raising HDL by 30% with people who have seriously low #s. One lady had genetic Low HDL and it still raised hers. Mine was at 12 last year and ive got it up to 31. So i ran by the pharmacy since the paper said it was a vitamin and a bottle of 250mgs is 7bucks! i was hyped but then i read the bottle which said it causes skin itching and flushing rashes. Have any of you took it and had a problem? I would love to take it for my HDL but im worried about breaking out.

I was recently at my Dr. and he put me on felodepine. He mentioned that it was a form on niacin meant to raise Hdl. I've only been on it for 2 weeks now and in a couple of weeks I will go in to see the Dr. At first 5 mgs made my heart palpatate and they lower it. Now I'm on 5mgs and feel great.

You need to get Nicotinic Acid 5-600mg, search the internet for the biggest cheapest pills. Yes it makes you flush and feel really hot for just 10-15 minutes. I get really itchy....also take Policonosol 50mgs...i've bought both really cheap online

My doc first tried niacin for my cholesterol. It was prescription Niacin (Niaspan in 1000mg pills) I had some flushing for the first few weeks. It did not do much for me at all in the way of helping my numbers so he put me back on a low dosage of Lipitor. My Cholesterol is hereditary, by the way.

My cholesteral is low 130 but my Hdl is supposed to be higher than 40 and mine is 31. I see an endo every six months for pituitary problems since 86. I have to wait until april for my Dr. to check and see if Hdl is up or not. Sorry I can't give a more positive number until after the Dr.
