Niaspan ER and experiences
Post a new Niaspan ER side effect

For a year and half my physician had me on 500 mg a day. In november he had me take 1000 mg a day. Within three days my hands and feet swelled to twice their size. My skin on my hands, feet and face felt like they were burning. I also suffered from hives. I stop taking the niaspan and yet six weeks later I still get the above side effects. I know of another three people who suffered similar side effects. Are there others who have had the same experiences and how long did the side effects last.
Take care,
Mike

I've had Fibromyalgia for a long time. The #1 thing, is to have a positive attitude. Get info. about this disease. Get moving. Start out slowly.

by rose81, 2 replies, updated 1 day ago.I was given the fantastic news that my body doesn't like itself anymore. I don't know when it had a falling out, but all I can say is the course of action to remedy this disease is CRAZY. Taking meds that have more side effects and the restrictions on my daily life, because of the meds, no driving, no salt, no sugar, and little fat in my diet, very little sun. Bathing in skin moisturizer, moodiness, mental confusion, can't work, but expected to continue cooking for family, and cleaning. Which I guess ...

First time user of Niaspan ER. First night I woke up red-faced and puffy; later same night fiercely itchy. Took four baby Niaspan (81 mg) the next night 30 minutes prior to Niaspan...no further problems. I'm planning on trying to cut down on Niaspan to 81 mg, which my doctor wants me to take anyway. Trying to balance HDL & LDL levels.
