Niacin has been shown to raise HDL. There's even a prescription strength version (I think it's called Niaspan), but it has the same active ingredient as OTC versions. The one caveat is that I don't think the no flush versions have been shown to help, although extended release versions have.

It will come back. Niacin helps, but start at 1/4 of a tablet and work up or the flush/itching can be unbearable. Also, avoid saturated and trans fat, and don't completely kill the estrogen
