Has anyone had any liver issues with taking high doses (5g to 10g) of niacin? I was taking 3g of N a day for several weeks with all other recommended vitamins with no changes to my symptoms. Im thinking about increasing my Niacin but am concerned about possible liver damage. Thanks

Its quiet in here so I will list my history, symptoms and protocol.
Tested positive for Covid Nov 1st 2021.
Covid symptoms included loss of smell and taste, Fever, Nausea, Fatigue. Took 20mg Ivermectin for first 7 days of infection (I know now that was a mistake). Ibuprofen taken for fevers. Received monoclonal antibodies after week 2 as fevers continued. Week 3 no more fevers and started to feel better overall.Almost free of covid symptoms when in late January I developed shingles around my eye spreading to back of head. Two weeks of Valtrex treatments to prevent shingles from migrating into my eye.
After my shingles outbreak some of my covid symptoms returned and still remain.

Been on 6g dose of Niacin for two weeks now and had labs drawn to be safe. I’m happy to report my liver values are perfectly normal. When I had covid they were several times over the limit. Slightly better smell and taste with the higher dose. I just got my Thorne melatonin and am thinking about taking a mega dose >30mg to try and get the niacin into my cells better. I’m not sure if anyone is reading my posts but will report back in a week.
