September 8,2009 I took Niaspan 500mg on September 8, 2009 and begin to feel as if my body was on fire. I was scared, nervous, and panicked. It lasted about 20 minutes. I was considering going to the emergency room, but then it ended. The next day I saw blood in my left eye. I contacted my physician and he suggested to disregard the Niaspan and try to use Zetia 10mgs for only 4 weeks to lower my cholesterol and continue to a pursue a healthier diet with fruits, vegetables, and less fatty foods.
