If you insist on my doing the research for you I will at least post one study that shows what you are doing to your liver with those niacin pills.

i mean you could have just typed in niacin liver damage into google and clicked the first thing that came up like I did but apparently thats too difficult.
I'm well aware of the mainstream media's opinion of large doses of niacin. I'm also well aware of the founder of niacin for cholesterol and schizophrenia treatment, Dr. Hoffer's, opinion.
http://www.doctoryourself.com/Hoffer2009int.pdf"Saul: If I do not press this point, a reader
will: maintained high doses of niacin may
raise liver function tests, and this is used
as evidence of harm.
Hoffer: Niacin is not liver toxic. Niacin
therapy increases liver function tests. But
this elevation means that the liver is active.
It does not indicate an underlying liver
pathology. Dr. Bill Parsons discussed this
extremely well in his book on niacin and
cholesterol (Cholesterol Control Without
Diet, Lilac Press, 2000). I personally have
been on ,500 to 6,000 mg daily since 955.
The biggest danger of taking niacin is that
you live longer. One of my patients is 2.
She does cross country skiing and has been
on niacin for 42 years. The fear doctors
have of niacin is not based on data or facts
and, like any myth, is very hard to eradicate. So many patients are on niacin that
by chance some will also have liver damage
from other conditions such as alcoholism,
hepatitis and so on. Niacin does not make
it any better nor worse."
I cant find one instance online of someone getting hospitalized after quitting supplements.
Upon a 30 second google search I found 2 cases.
http://regainmentalhealth.com/?page_id=83"I report two cases of severe paranoid schizophrenia of acute onset who recovered IMMEDIATELY right in front of me with the use of mega dose of niacin. Niacin, like niacinamide, is vitamin B3. Discontinuation of niacin led to relapse. Resumption of niacin again resulted in recovery in both the cases."
Exactly what happened to me.
Seriously stop trolling her thread. Move it to my journal.
