Niacinamide

Posted by rosa66 @rosa66, Mar 27, 2022

Anyone taking this for anxiety/depression?
Am 8 months off a too rapid taper of 25 years of Paxil and mental health is bad. I’m afraid to start another antidepressant. Niacinamide has been recommended….have you tried it? Dose? Brand?
Thx! PCP has recommended remeron, cymbalta or Effexor and I’m wondering if Niacinamide might help my ruminatings and brain activity.

Do you mind if I ask how long it took the Remeron to kick in and at what dose. I’m 2 1/2 weeks into 30mg and I still wake up at 3 am and haven’t noticed much benefit yet.

It is used for sleep at lower dosage like 7.5 mg

Thank you. For sleep maintenance insomnia (waking at 3 am) is it often taken upon awakening? Seems like it would wear off if I took it upon going to bed.

I may be different than anyone else, but I take a max dose of 45 mg. approx. 2 hrs. before sleep. I sleep from 6.5 to 7.5 hrs. Go figure.
