All I can really offer is some advice on getting through the first week or so, with the GI problems it can cause: Eat before you take the pill.
When I first started taking it, I sat down at the breakfast table, took the pill, and then picked up my fork and ate my egg. And had diarrhea. Once I learned to eat the egg first, then swallow the pills, that went away right away.
Since then, the GI stuff has all gone away, whether or not I eat before taking the pill. And it only lasted a couple of weeks, anyway.
Good luck. I think it's a pretty durn good drug.
