I started taking Niacin 500mg tablets a few months ago to help manage my cholesterol levels. I had heard about the flushing side effect, but I wasn't prepared for how intense it was! The first few days were rough, but I found that taking aspirin 30 minutes before made a huge difference. I've also noticed some improvements in my chloesterol levels, which is great. However, I'm still a bit concerned about the more serious side effects and wanted to see if anyone else has experienced anything similar. Has anyone else had issues with muscle pain or weakness? I'm also curious about the long-term effects of this medication. Any advice or shared experiences would be appreciated!
