Also, even though it's hard and I don't feel well I continue to lift weights and do cardio to combat the inevitable weight gain. Weird hot flashes and some acne... View full comment

STOPPED TAKING CENTRUM STRAIGHT AWAY AND I'M GLAD TO SAY THAT I AM NO LONGER EXPERIENCING THESE PAINS. ALL TABLETS HA... View full comment

I've taken only immediate release niacin. With twice a day dosing, I've never had any liver issues. Every time I try three times a day dosing, I eventually get elevated liver enzymes.

I haven't been taking Yaz for too long but it has so far been effective. The only side effect that I've experienced is a change in my sex drive but I guess that's inevitable. I am very satisfied with this medication.
