I had my blood work done this week after 4 months of taking the non flush Niacin every day.

My triglycerides dropped from 155 to 107 which is great news!! But my cholesterol went up from 266 to 273! It's never been that high. I was so dissapointed because it worked so well for the first 8 month period I took it. My cholesterol dropped dramatically then but not this time.

My doctor doesn't want me to continue the Niacin and is putting me on Zocor. I was hoping the Niacin would control it. I do know that it definitely works on triglycerides.

I'm confused but am going on Zocor for cholesterol. Darn it!
