Verson symptoms and conditions

I came home from work and opened my new bottle of Niaspan er 500mg. It was late and my wife was asleep. I read the bottle and it said take 2 tablets before bed with food. I did and about 4 hours later, my entire body was on FIRE and my hair felt like needles pinching my skin when I moved. I can deal with a hot flash or flushing but I was literally RED hot to touch, forget the feeling that I was having a heart attack or stroke.
I am only 41 years old in good health and a little low good cholesterol. I tried again few days later with one pill(after my wife had a good laughed) and experience the same nightmare. No hot flash, I was BURNING RED and my hairs were needles pinching my skin as I put ice packs around my neck.
I understand this is just a form of vitamin B-3??? Has anyone tried some form of herbal version of a B-vitamin?? Has anyone tried to take during the daytime????

Hello everyone,

My name is Tina and I am a mother of 5 children and I was diagnosed with a very rare disorder called "VKH" It is a rare eye disorder that only strikes like 1 in 1,000,000,000 people. I was put on Prednisone to help with this condition and to reduce the swelling in my eyes. I was put on 70mg initially and was tapered down to 40mg. then things did not go as well as to be expected and I was bumped back up to 60mg. I am so happy to read these stories but also saddened at the same time. I have been on Prednisone for 5 months and have gained 20 pounds and have the moon face, the acne, the hair growth and the horrible mood swings. My husband and I had our 10 year anniversary last week and I spent it all alone because of my moods.......
It has destroyed my relationships and my self esteem. I don't like leaving the house barely because I hate how I look and I am so depressed I am not the same person as before. I cry all the time because sometimes I wonder if taking this drug is worth it!!! What makes things worse is I wonder if things will ever go back to normal for me or my family again.................

I take toprol 2x per day(50 mg/100 total). I get extreme headaches all over my head. I also get panic attacks(feel like I need to call 911 due to increased heart rate) at night and can't sleep. I feel nauseous at bedtime, and the feeling continues through mid-morning. I used to work, work, work, but now I worry and am very lethargic. When I work hard, my heart races and again I feel nauseous. I have had cardio-version two times now to get my heart back in rhythm. I am 49 years old. These problems run in my family. My mother's grandmother died at the age of 49 and my mom has had cardio-verson 4 times now. Who wouldn't worry? I am also on tambicor, and aspirin once a day. I have gained weight! Just what I needed.

I've been loosing massive amounts of hair the last three weeks... same amount of time I've been taking 40mg daily of Protonix. Anyone else with the same side effect?
