Default Did you start on this?

Did any of you start right away on 1500 mg? I know a lot of you have worked your way up but was there anyone whose dr said to start on it right away or anyone who just simply thought go big or go home? lol

If you did, how did you feel? What went on with your body? Could you handle it?

I am already on 1500 for a year now and supposed to be working my way up to 3000... just having a hard time getting there as i spend more time with the toilet as i do with my dh anytime i up my dose.

My doctor started me on 500 mg, within one week went upto 1000 mg and the next week to 1500mg.. The first month my intestines did a complete revolt and i couldnt eat anything without rushing to the toilet after 15 min But after that initial phase I was pretty ok..
