I take 1,000 mgs. of Niacin or Nicotinic Acid in place of Lipitor. Please comment on PROS and CONS on this.?

I used to take Lipitor and was on it for 3 years. Stopped on May 2006. Then Started taking Niacine 1,000 mgs. a day. 700 mgs. right after breakfast then 300 mgs for my last meal at 5:00 p.m.

Been on Niacin for the last 11 months now. I noticed that I steadily lost weight (no knowledge here if there is any connection with Niacin).

Am I doing it right with the dosage? Too high? Too low?

I heard that it could be detrimental to the liver or the kidneys?

You're doing just fine, stick with your current program. And yes, you can lose weight with Vitamin B3 because it helps burning carbs much easier.
