In reply to niacinamide, trying to kick the ativan habit, posted by fredsenior on November 3, 2004, at 9:43:52
Hi, welcome to the board. :)
This is a good article on niacinamide from the Alternative Medicine Review:
http://www.findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m0FDN/is_6_7/ai_96416605
Check out the "side effects and toxicity" on page 2. It doesn't say to take it with food or without.
I do both. I find it noticeable when taken on an empty stomach, otherwise not. The antianxiety effect feels quite mild to me. If I'm trying to sleep, I sometimes take it with glycine. That feels pretty good. I didn't know it was a GABA booster, so maybe next time I'll try it with GABA.
Do you already take magnesium? It's also good for stress.
