  • I don’t know about ADHD, but for anyone considering experimenting here, please, please, PLEASE be aware of the phenomenon called “Niacin Flush”.

    https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/niacin-flush

    "Many people taking niacin may experience a niacin flush. People may experience flushing around 30 minutes after taking a high dose of niacin, such as 500 milligrams (mg) or above.

    Symptoms of niacin flush may include:

    the skin on the face and upper body flushing

    itching, tingling, or prickly sensations on the skin

    a hot or burning sensation on the skin

    Symptoms of niacin flush may clear within 1 to 2 hours of taking niacin.

    People may find that symptoms of niacin flush are most intense when they first start taking high doses of niacin but may reduce with continued use.

    According to the NIH, niacin supplements of 30 mg or more may cause headaches, rashes, or dizziness.

    Taking high doses of niacin of 1,000 mg or more without the approval of a doctor may have harmful side effects, such as:

    low blood pressure, which may increase the risk of falling

    fatigue

    high blood sugar levels

    nausea

    heartburn

    abdominal pain

    blurred vision and buildup of fluid in the eyes"
