If you can't tolerate the flush so much, go for inositol hexaniacinate (no flush niacin). Same psychiatric benefits. It is what I give my kids. For many more articles, go to
www.doctoryourself.com. I found this website when all three of my kids had whooping cough (this time two years ago). It was hell on earth, let me tell you. They recovered with very high doses of vitamin C. And that includes my DD who was just under a year old at the time. Whooping cough lasts a long time, and I didn't learn about nutrient therapy until about two weeks in. They were all better in a matter of days.
I didn't mean to go so off track, just letting you know how helpful this website was for me. And of course, I cured my depression shortly thereafter with niacin. Many good articles there about niacin, especially Abram Hoffer's protocols. Niacin works best in as many divided doses as you can manage. For me, that is two right now, but when I was at my worst, in the beginning, I was strict about three times daily dosing.
Good luck! I better stop writing before I am the victim of the phantom iPad again! LOL!
