When can I take Niaspan instead of at bedtime.
Im aleady taking
Lovastatin - 40mg
Cartia - 180mg
Atenolol - 20 or 40mg
Warfarin - 5mg
Plus I am considering not taking Niaspan at all due to past problems.
I cant handle the side affects for more than a few days.
Im not in a mode or time for the headaches and lack of sleep.
Any major lack of sleep currently will result in major problems at work or other areas of my life...
The side effects the last time I took it for a long while I actually lost sleep for weeks and had repeatedly gotten no sleep till exhaustion would set in.. often it took more drugs or serious overexertion to get worn down...
The flusing & related was often way too much, and though taking it at bedtime as instructed..allways caused me extra hours of not being able to go to sleep.
