I just started taking a relatively new form of Niacin that I had read about in one of Dr. Atkins books. It's inositol hexanicotinate, found some in Walgreens.

It's not supposed to cause flushing in most people. And it breaks down into 5 parts niacin and 1 part inositol.

One side effect of Niacin is it makes you drowsy. I take this at night and sleep like a baby. I wake up and cry all night because of the flushing. Just kidding... I sleep well after taking this.

Just read that Anyone taking more than 1000 mg. (1 gram) of niacin or inositol hexanicotinate per day should have their liver enzymes checked regularly.

Other side-effects here and here.
