I take Niacin, for the aforementioned-reasons. It makes my head feel like it's going to burst into flames, but I take it anyway. Old habit from when I didn't have any health coverage- I was trying to create the effects of a statin.

After my heart attack, I was put on niacin. I do not make HDL, the "good" cholesterol. I buy the non flushing niacin at Walmart and have no problems. It is just a slow release form of niacin and has raised my HDL closer to normal levels.
