    If they are 500mg tablets then 2 at once is way too much and the symptoms you describe is exact what happens. I myself turn red with 1 tablet and feel hot, and it lasts for about an hour or so. Next time, just take one and see what happens. Peace.

    okay well as long as its gone within an hour or two im fine...but im paranoid as fuck right now....like i almost drove myself to the hospital cuz i didnt know what was goin on haha

    Heh, I hate paranoia and am glad I could help. Also, if you can take them with food, the side effects are not so extreme. (common sense)

    yeah you need to look out for that niacin....I was in the army for a while and I used to do the niacin treatment all the time........the only problem is i had no idea how much to eat....so every time i thought i "needed" to i would eat 10-15, 100 Mg pills........talk about the worst pain....it goes away i try to eat them right before you go to sleep....then you usually sleep right through it........good luck:hello:

    That shit makes your skin itchy and feel like it is burining. It flushes your system think of it like your skin beling flushed.

    that sounds like exactly what would happen bro, you should be fine in a few hours atm ost, if not.. drink alot of water and take something, and if that doesnt work, then you head to the hospital haha

    The burn is supposed to happen. No need to go to the hospital. Niacin puts your metabolism through the roof, and the toxins that are getting flushed from your system need a place to go. Normally they pass through your urine, but when you're metabolism is jacked up on niacin, the normal process isn't fast enough and the toxins are forced out through your pours - thus the burning.

    It is important to note that unless you are instructed by a doctor, you shouldn't take niacin too often. It can cause severe (or fatal) liver damage.

    'Fucked yourself up on pills you know little about?

    Don't worry!

    Just take more pills you know little about!'

    Jeez........:rolleyes:

    i agree somewhat, but honestly... if i was on probation id be a little more on edge than usual and might jump to hasty disicions, but as le said, it isnt a very smart thing to do.

    you should be fine tho, i knew someone who was on probation or parol and was bieng tested 1-2 times weekly, and used niacin everyday.

    not a good idea, but it did work.

    has anyone ever gotten sick from it? because okay now i woke up this morning with a 101.4 temp..but i had the chills so i wrapped myself in a blanket so it got worse. Now listen to the reasoning of a stoner...im so proud of myself for this. Im cold right and i remember the niacin makes me hot. Soo i take another niacin and now i feel better...i still have a fever but i dont feel too hot or to cold..its justtt right haha but if anyones ever had that problem after their first time taking it let me know cuz idk if i got sick from that or just a flu.
     
  17. #17 ph0neman, Dec 26, 2006
    dr ph0neman is thinking you have the flu or a bug totally not associated with the taking of too much niacin. feed that fever and show it who's boss.

    take care and hope you feel better bigballer

    hmmm i should take this cuz my metabolism is slow as shit
     
  19. #19 b0nes, Dec 28, 2006
    i am just wondering but does all niacin work, because on some bottles of it now it say flush free on the back. will that not work for flushinbg weed out of your system then? if it does people make sure you are taking the right ones.
     
  20. #20 chronicFIRE, Dec 28, 2006
    idk about the fevers or "flush free" niacin but take niacin when you take X it enhances the experience
