I have been taking the initial dose of Niaspan for 4 weeks, one 500 mg tablet at bedtime. I really experienced no side effects at all. This week I started on the second step and increased the dose to two 500 mg tablets at bedtime. Every night I have been waking up with diareaha. It always seems to subisde during the day, but after taking my bedtime dose, I'm up again in the middle of the night. Any suggestions?
My doctor told me to take either 1 or 2 capsules of Metamucil or 2 tablespoons of applesauce about 30 min. prior to taking the Niaspan on a FULL stomach. I usually take a Metamucil and 1 children's aspirin at the same time before dinner. Hope that helps.

Psyllium 3-4 tablesppons in a single small bottled water,.. replace cap & shake REAL hard. Finish before it "gels" up. Lotsa health benefits,.. BUT,.. really helps with the loose bowel & the flush.
