I have been taking Niaspan for about a week. I took the aspirin etc. and did not have a problem until last night. I awoke at 5 a.m.sweating like a pig with nausea and diarrhea. I got up to go to the bathroom and blacked out. My husband called an ambulance. My blood pressure dropped to 90/50 and I was white as a sheet. I feel twice hitting my head. After the sweats for two hours came the chills. This is on top of the flushing and feeling like I was tied to ant hill. I have tried to take this drug twice and the symptoms got worse each time. I think I am going to have to look for something else. I might be able to handle some flushing, but not unconsciousness! I'm afraid to try again.
