[QUOTE="Don Schultz, post: 20075, member: 17"] I think the thought on this has changed a bit over the past 3-4 years. My first cardiologist had me on 1500 3 years ago. A year and a half ago, I switched docs and at first he continued the 1500 but on my second visit, he suggested I discontinue siting a study that called into question the benefits of Niacin. We compromised and I continued with 1000 to this day but I don't think he believes that its beneficial. I am going clarify all of this with him later this summer when I visit. I am on Lipitor although I wish I did not need it. For some, its the only way to get our cholesterol levels into a reasonable range, although, as I have known for years, limiting Coronary Artery Disease is more about limiting sugar and carbohydrates than limiting fats and getting a cholesterol score in the low 100s. I would love to drop both Niacin and Lipitor but I just don't think it would be a good idea. If you do....please weigh in. [/QUOTE]
