Depression
"I&#039;ve been a depressive type most of my life, and I&#039;ve also had problems with alcohol. I recently was prescribed Lexapro but only took it for two days as it felt wrong. I&#039;ve always had an icky feeling about SSRIs etc. I finally decided to give niacin a go, and within a few hours of the 1st dose I felt ten times better. I&#039;m now on day 5 and slowly upping my dose. I feel better each day and don&#039;t feel the sadness that was so paralysing for so long. Only negative side effect is a headache from time to time but it&#039;ll pass soon I&#039;m sure. I really enjoy the niacin flush feeling, but only at night. During the day I take the slow release kind but I&#039;m planning to slowly switch to the flushing kind over time as it just feels more effective."
