I'm 35. Have had CFS for 12 yrs. I am so thankful to have found this site. My POIS symptoms started when my CFS symptoms started.
Just started experimenting with niacin. I took niacin, 200mg, no flush after 20min, so I took 50mg every 10min, until finally got a flush at 400mg. I ejaculated about 15 minutes after the flush started. The flush was pretty intense, head to toe, and lasted about 45 min after ejaculation. My POIS symptoms usually start with 6 hrs and last 3 to 4 days. This time they were reduced 90% and by day two were gone.
I then read that you should wait until the flush passes before ejaculation. So the next time I took 150mg niacin on empty stomach this time. The flush started within 20min. I waited 25 more minutes after flush started, when it started to subside and then ejaculated. POIS symptoms wer reduced by about 50% this time and effects lasted until day 3.
So my question is, do I wait for the flush to totally end? My best experience was when i did it at peak flush, but I also took 400mg that time. I'm sure there are a lot of variables, but is the general consensus to wait until flush is totally passed?
thanks
