The dosage of Niacin I was taking was anywhere from 500mg to over 1,000mg per day. I feel that this might have caused an interaction with either my antidepressant or the antipsychotic. I actually feel better without any Niacin, but I'll admit that a small dosage of Niacin, say 250mg, which is relatively safe, can help somewhat with anxiety. I remember one situation where I took 2,000mg of Niacin and my anxiety was greatly decreased and I felt rather good. It only happened one time, however. If I take more than 750mg all at once, I tend to feel brain foggy and slightly irritable. In my opinion, Niacin is no good when you're on a lot of psychotropic medication. It seems to complicate things too much.
