    Yep, but I don't think it works well on today's tests.

    Vitamin B is a matabolism booster isn't it? Taking it in the morning would have equal benefits as taking at night although I would have better sleep, right?

    Crestor worked for me over a 3 month period...206 to a 135 and that was without a change in eating habits (which is going to happen soon).

    Niacin is best taken at night with a low-fat snack....to reduce the flushing, take an aspirin or an ibuprofen 30 minutes prior, or at least at the same time....Start with 250mg then increase by 250mg up to 1000mg per day as tolerated....It's okay to take with Lipitor, but be aware of any increased weakness or muscle aches.....Prior to all this, a glass or two of red wine, a cigar and a tune picked out on a banjo will significantly reduce the risk of a heart attack........ :wink2:

    Ok, I'll switch back to night time. Your suggesting I bump up the dosage from 100mg to 250mg and pop an asprin.

    I'm off the Lipitor until I'm finished with the grapefruit diet. I've lost 5 pounds in 5 days. woot!
