Hey Sarah,
What is the doesage that you are taking? My Doc told me that they may
have to "tweek" the dose. I was only taking one squirt morning and
night. I know that the bottle said 2 squirts morning and night. I
didn't experience any cramps.(I react pretty violently to strong drugs
though-no pain meds I have a high tolerance to them T4 with codene?
candy. But real drugs I usually experience most if not all the side
effects)
