O.K. I haven't smoked since Monday... Woulda quit earlier but I like to toke so I held off too long. Anyway I have taken about 14,000mg of niacin(its a year expired so I took it A LOT) since about Monday night and I might but probably don't have a test at 2p.m. today, I think if I fail its gotta be bullshit. Do you think I'll pass if I'm tested?
Do you really know what your doing to yoursefl? Although it is touted on the Internet as a way to beat a drug test, taking large doses of the over-the-counter supplement niacin, also known as vitamin B3, is both ineffective and potentially dangerous, researchers at the University of Pennsylvania warn. Emergency physician Manoj K. Mittal of Children's Hospital of Philadelphia and her colleagues reported earlier this month in the Annals of Emergency Medicine that they had treated four patients for niacin overdose during the past two years. All had taken large quantities of the vitamin after using marijuana or cocaine, and all recovered from the overdose of niacin. REPORTER'S QUERY The Washington Post is looking for challenging medical cases--ones that have been resolved but in which the patient's symptoms were puzzling to doctors or suggested an immediate diagnosis that would have been wrong. Patients must have medical records documenting their care, and must be willing to share them with a reporter. Please include day and evening phone numbers and an e-mail address.

RedditFacebook Two patients, both in their early 20s, said they used the vitamin to conceal drug use before undergoing pre-employment urine tests to detect illegal drug use. A third patient, a 14-year-old boy, said he took niacin the day before he was to meet with his parole officer; the fourth, a 17-year-old girl who was found unconscious, said she popped niacin after using ecstasy and marijuana. Niacin is one of several over-the-counter supplements popularly believed to subvert the results of drug testing. The authors note that a Google search for niacin plus the phrase "pass urine drug test" yielded more than 85,000 results. It is erroneously believed, the authors write, that massive doses of vitamin B3 can rapidly flush drugs from a user's body and produce a negative drug test for marijuana and cocaine by speeding up metabolism. In reality, they write, it can prove toxic, causing heart palpitations, vomiting, blood sugar abnormalities and liver failure. The recommended daily dose of niacin is about 14 to 16 milligrams per day; the 14-year-old who was treated at Children's said he took 5,500 milligrams. An ER physician who does not suspect niacin overdose might conclude the patient was having a severe allergic reaction and might treat the patient with possibly harmful drugs, the authors warn. A companion editorial by toxicologists at the Rocky Mountain Poison and Drug Center in Denver reported the center had fielded 16 calls between January and September 2006 from people who said they had taken niacin to achieve a negative urine test. About half received medical treatment for overdose, and all recovered, they reported. "Emergency physicians should consider attempts to mask urine drug screens as a cause of unusual presentation in high-risk populations, such as military, patients on probation and with a history of drug abuse," they wrote.
You need to drink a ton of water before your test, should have started about 2 hours ago until you pissed every 20 minutes without drinking and it was crystal clear. Then you drink a red bull really fast which has niacin but the reason for drinking it is to turn you pee to the expected colour, than one more cup of water. By that time you would be peeing so much the number of metabolites in the pee are minimal and therefor would pass by diluting, naturally. I've been doing that for almost a year and it has yet to fail
Yea niacin never worked for me and it was hell cuz I took to many, my whole body was red, and I felt like I was on fire. My one friend was allergic to it and didn't know, and had to go to the hospital, he looked so weird it was extremely freaky.
