Niacin
Sep 30^th, 2012 at 1:12pm

Hey Guy's
I realize this is a bit unorthodox but this was what I took 200mg of niacin along with handfuls of excedrin (I rarely took them together) for 18 years when I was a kid as my only way to stop my CH's and I would wait for the "flush" from the niacin and about 20 or 30 % of the time it would actually would stop a CH if I could take it in time, like instantly at the onset of a CH. Ha you guys ever heard of the use of niacin and if so what happened to the use of it?

Gaining knowledge and obtaining an education about cluster headaches is the key to success to shutting down the beast. The Vitamin D3 Anti inflammatory Regimen is one of the best treatments ever!

I am familiar with Niacin and the flush! However, am not familiar with Niacin as it may/not relate to CH's. You might consider sending off a PM to our vitamin expert-Batch on this subject...or ask the question on the "123" thread.

Continued use of Excedrin (or any OTC med) as i'm sure you've found out by now can be a medical nightmare for anybody, and especially ineffective for CH's.

Good luck Wink
