We, thus, propose that niacin deficiency is a contributory factor in schizophrenia development in some patients and symptom alleviation in these patients will benefit from niacin augmentation, especially in some particular psychotic features.
Niacin interacts with some antipsychotics in different ways, Google before trying it with your meds. I’ve come off meds now and use it. It doesn’t have an anti psychotic effect according to doctors I’ve spoken to, but I find it helps in other ways. I only take 200mg a day with a bcomplex.
That’s interesting they mention adrenochrome. I first learned that it is a naturally occurring precursor to the chemical adrenolutin that is said to be our brains own hallucinogen which can be overly produced by the anxiety related compounds caused mainly by our faulty Fight or Flight response. I read a book by the late Dr. Abram Hoffer who promoted the use of B vitamins and several other vitamins and minerals in the 50’s and the 60’s, ((such as reducing our copper intake found in our water pipes that is used in the production of adrenolutin)) as adjuncts to our psychotropic medications. I am not so bad off that I need to reduce my copper intake but I did try using a water filter and drinking bottled water. I take the "B"3 vitamin in the form of nicotinic acid, and other “B” vitamins as well, that he found not to be delinquent in us, but that we are in need of more of those vitamins then normal people do.
