How long can one take 500 mg everyday? Can I take it for years say 10 years? What harm can it do? I am interested in knowing longer term continuous use side effects.

I'm glad you are trying things out on your own before resorting to meds. I also found that eating foods with a healthy fat content like cashews and avocados (both good for niacin and other nutritional benefits) make me feel happy and optimistic. I'm not too worried about the fat content as some people will complain that its too fattening (well I'd rather be happy than skinny and sad), as long as I consume a reasonable portion. I think the natural fat helps satisfy something the body needs, and the response is pretty quick. I definitely dont feel this way when I eat sugar (which I love) or other vice snacks. This feels different, and feeling happy naturally is nice. Right now i'm snacking on a weird combo of lightly-salted avocado mash (1/4 of one) and sliced, firm bananas. I used to hate avos, but its super yum for me now~! That. and lots of water helps me from feeling tired, and helps my headaches. Hope we keep it up~! I noticed that too!

My husband tried taking low doses of niacin over the weekend, when he was off his traditional anti-depressants (between 500-600 mg per day). He went back to work on Monday, took 200mg Niacin in the morning, took his anti-depressants, and got a horrible headache. We know we need some advice, but we're almost sure his regular MD is going to tell us he's crazy for trying this, and he shouldn't even be thinking about messing with his anti-depressant dosage. But even on that single weekend, my husband claimed he started noticing a slight difference in mood, and we're reluctant to give up on the hope that something else can help him-- the side effects of his SSRIs are not fun.... Thanks for your help... Hello,

I also have depression and don't want to have to resort to antidepressants just yet so started st john's wort. it took the edge off slightly but the depression was still bad. I had no idea niacin helped depression but the day after i started it (about 200g p/day spread out in 50g tablets) my depression lifted and i had enough energy to do a workout for the first time in weeks. its also warmed me up (I'm always freezing!). I try to be healthy and eat a nutritious diet though so I don't know how i could be deficient in niacin... hmmm. its making me think a lot about the cause of my depression.

Lol, not really but I eat a bag of baby carrots every week. I do it as a crunchy snack to keep me away from the chips and such. It really started as a weight loss thing, but I've gotten to where I really like them. But, having said that, I wonder if my body really needed the niacin, therefore I crave the carrots now? I was wondering if you know how much niacin carrots have and if there is significant amount to cause me to have too much niacin if I were to start taking it as a supplement. I do take a multivitamin and a b complex, both of which have niacin. I don't think I've experienced the flush, but the first night I took the vitamins I do recall feeling a little warm, but at the time didn't know about niacin at all. I have a strange love of carrots.
