truly, cherrie, it took a full 4 weeks for each change in dosage before I was accustomed to it. I was several months between dosage changes, which is why I feel it is better to let someone get accustomed to a dose before increasing it. I think it builds compliance, and if folks can't stay on the stuff, it won't do the good it can do.
If you didn't read about it elsewhere, if you start to get leg pain, as another symptom, (as opposed to the gastro stuff) try taking extra b vitamins, especially folic acid to help. Makes a big difference for some of us. Others have found magnesium, or calcium/magnesium combos to be helpful.
Good luck and good for you to have the patience to carry on, its worth it.
