Has anyone here tried Niacin 500mg SR Capsules for managing cholesterol levels? I've been prescribed this medication and I'm curious to hear about other people's experiences. Did you notice significant improvements in your cholesterol levels? What side effects did you encounter, if any, and how did you manage them? Specifically, I'm interested in hearing about any tips or tricks to deal with flushing, as I've heard that can be quite uncomfortable. Also, are there any helpful strategies for taking these capsules during night to avoid dizziness? How did your doctor address these concerns? Thanks in advance for sharing your insights!
