I'm having that right now LOL. Back in August of 2022 I was prescribed Accutane by my dermatologist. As a result by triglycerides skyrocketed to 498 (was about 191 before). Over the course of 4 months I got it down to 309 but need to get it lower.
My doc prescribed a statin which I was very apprehensive of taking as it has lots of side effects. Turns out (and probably very fortunate for me) I seem to be allergic to the statins as I had an asthma attack after the 2 times I took them.
I just got Niacin delivered and took this evening. Though I was expecting some reaction since I had read this thread beforehand, it was a bit more than I expected. I didn't freak out but my nurse wife kinda did. The flushing and itching for me was a bit longer than I had read about. For me it's been close to an hour but getting better. Hopefully it doesn't get this bad every time I use it.
My kids said I look like a sunburned lobster LMAO.
