Hi Kim,
Glad to hear it's going better this time around. In my opinion, take it
slow. My doc ( a general pract.) thought I could increase after 3 days
on 500 mg up to 1000mg. This was too fast for me. I now wait at least
2-3 weeks before increasing. It takes about that long before the nausea
subsides. I've just increased from 1000mg to 1350 mg. (850mg in a.m.
and 500mg at dinner). So far so good. No nausea yet this time. I'm
keeping my fingers crossed! Good luck! :)Monica
