So the doctor decided to put me on niaspan for my cholesterol, but it turns out the prescription version of that is around $300 for someone with no health insurance. So instead I am taking over the counter Niacin in a slow release version, and let me tell you, the flushing, not fun. I looked like I had a gnarly sun burn on my face.
I am taking 500mg of it a day to start, and hoping that I can get myself off of it within 3 months. I've added a ton of natural cholesterol reducing items to my diet and am stepping up with the gym stuff so I don't have to keep taking niacin.
