YESTERDAY I WENT TO THE DOCTOR AND HE UPPED MY MET DOSE TO 2000MGS A DAY. YESTERDAY I TOOK ONE IN THE MORNING AND 2 THAT EVENING. TODAY I TOOK 2 THIS MORNING AND 2 THIS EVENING. AM I GOING UP TOO FAST OR SHOULD I START OUT AT 1500MGS AND WORK MY WAY UP TO 2000MGS. HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE BEFORE I START FEELING ANY SIDE EFFECTS I'VE BEEN ON 1000MGS SINCE AUGUST 06, SO FAR NO SIDE EFFECTS, ANY ADVICE OR INFORMATION YOU GIVE WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED.
THANKS IN ADVANCE
STACEY
P.S. DID YOU LADIES FIND THAT YOU LOST WEIGHT WHEN YOU WERE ON A HIGHER DOSE. SO FAR ON THE 1000MGS. I HAVEN'T LOSE NOR GAIN ANY WEIGHT SINCE AUGUST.
THANKS AGAIN LADIES

You should start at 500 for 1-2 weeks then go up. Start with dinner. then move to breakfast and dinner. after 3-4 weeks add another dinner pill. give it another 2 weeks and then add another 500. I learned the hard way. If not you could start vomiting and have the ****s. Not fun. Trust me.

Talk to your Dr, but I would reccomend 1-2 weeks between each increase to give your body time to adjust.

My Dr put me on 1500 mg right off the bat and I suffered big time.

Good luck!

i've taken 2000mgs on thursday, friday, sunday, monday. so far no adverse side effects i take me first 1000mgs during breakfast about mid morning and i take me last 1000mgs in the evenings. how long does it take for side effects to show up.
thanks stacey

p.s. my doctor told me to start with the 2000mgs if i can tolerate it if not then gradually increase the dose.

I guess everyone is different. I started at 500 and almost immediately had the poops and vomiting. Everytime I went up in dosage, I had the poops. It also made me hypoglycemic. good Luck
