Following my bloodwork the Dr. prescribed 500mg Niaspan specifically to raise my HDL.
TC 127
HDL 29
LDL 75
Trig 117
Glucose 92

After reading postings here on the side effects and small gains as well as those about HDL I have decided not to.

On a side note, they recommended several things to reduce the likelihood for flushing.
1. while taking at bed time, eat 2-3 low fat wheat crackers like Triscuit. (the wheat is the key ingredient)
2. Take aspirin an hour before.
