Niaspan can cause tingling/burning...part of the "flush".

You can test this by taking aspirin about 45 minutes before the Niaspan.

Over time niacin can raise blood sugar..when this happens, PN can happen.

High dose Niacin also can affect the liver. If you have liver damage you could get PN type symptoms.

High dose niacin is not innocuous... it can have toxicity.

You can test this by stopping the Niaspan.... wait 2 months or so and
see if anything changes.
