Yep. I get that reaction from every statin on the market.

Guess what? Niacin works.

me too. i started niacin and red rice yeast and it was slowly dropping. in march went on SPARKPEOPLE, really watched how much i ate (and snacked) and got at least 5 hours of biking, racquetball, walking, and/or yoga. i cook so i ate well but watched portions and did a lot of seafood and chicken and very little bread (because i didn’t want to waste my calories there). lost 22 pounds today amd my total dropped from 210 to 170 everything else went down a lot, hdl is in the 70s and i have a new way of eating that isn’t a diet and easy to sustain. shooting for 190 by thanksgiviing.

Another niacin user in the house. I never had the flushing problem that deters a lot from niacin. I did develop the muscle pain from a statin.
