I had to be on 500mgs for about 2 to 2 1/2 months before I could go up to twice a day. So not unusual what you are going through. But found going up after that first time it did not take as long to get up to the 3x 500mgs I am on now. Are you taking the pill in the middle of the meal and not too much carbs in that meal, I still find if I don't follow the middle and low carbs when taking them I get a rush to bathroom scene again lol. When you do start to up the dose try one pill and not two at once and see what happens, some people do better with two at once and others like me do better with it spaced out, so you will have to try to find out what is best for you. You might find lowering your carbs and upping the protein and good fats will help too, try adjusting this a little , again some find adjusting a little is fine and others need to do it more seriously. Hopes this helps, and don't forget we are here for you, you are not alone in this.
