Well, I finally decided to start niacin since my cholesterol and triglicerides are a bit high. Found 100 mg pills ...there were 250 and 500mg at the other two stores. I took one and after just a few minutes I was really surprised. I never had heard of the extreme -ness of the reaction, I just thought one would blush. I started feeling hot prickly fire from shoulders up. Eventually it went down my arms and on my legs. I was bright red like a sunburn. After the heat and burning ebbed, it was still prickly and itchy. How long does it take before it doesn't react so severly? Pat
