In reply to Larry H- and others....No-flush niacin question, posted by Jasmine Neroli on August 25, 2003, at 22:49:30
The name of the compound is - in US niacinamide, in Europe nicotinamide. This is the same supplement = vit.B3/no-flush niacin, just 2 different names.
In my case, nicotinamide *alone* didn't do very much, but:
1) when used with benzos at 500-1000 mg, it increased its sedative effects (especially with Valium)
2) I can't confirm it but I *think* it was helping my Enada NADH regime
3) russian studies from 80's show that nicotinamide is a better nootropic than piracetam, so one can consider nicotinamide a smart-drug
4) if you are using amphetamine-type stimulant (Adderall/Dexedrine) it is wise to use nicotinamide, because it prevents against ATP depletion and low energy levels ("crashing") when amphetamines wore offBrad
