In reply to niacinamide, taurine, posted by Christ_empowered on August 3, 2011, at 18:44:13
I felt absolutely horrible on niacinamide, regardless of brand and dose. This stuff also can cause massive increases in blood sugar. I would have these horrible scarry dreams, and feel like absolute crap, and my mood would be horrible. I became very grumpy, aggressive. A number of other people I have met found they are the same way when taking it.
So, I guess, YMMV, be careful, etc.

If you wanted to, you could try it more gradually, like taking 500mgs niacinamide plus 1 gram taurine 2x daily, and then work up as needed. 3 grams niacinamide was/is pretty standard for orthomolecular treatment of anxiety disorders. Larger amounts were/are sometimes used for schizophrenia and other more severe disorders.
