"I have been taking Niaspan ER 2000 mg for three months. I am scheduled to get my first lab tests to determine its effectiveness in lowering my elevated Lpa level and whether my liver function is okay. I have noticed that the medicine needs to be taken by 9:30 or 10:00 pm. If I take the medication too late in the evening, I still can feel the effects of Niaspan when I get up for work the next morning. I also noticed that taking it with water alone causes the symptoms to be much worse than taking it with a small glass of milk or snack. So I take it before 10 pm with a small glass of milk or snack, and there seems to be very few symptoms."
