I was first put on Niaspan to try to lower my cholesterol. While I had no side effects, it didn't help with the cholesterol. So a little over a year ago, I was put on lipitor, and started Atkins. Within 4 months my blood lipid panels were vastly improved, and my doctor reduced the lipitor to 5mg a day. I'm hoping to be taken off of it completely when I go back for my physical this June.
Hope this helps,
