What dosage are you on? I am on 2550 mg which is the max. dosage. I
have lost 10lbs in 2 weeks..I have not been sick at all and I have
slowely ramped up the dosage. Maybe you need to talk to him about
increasing the dosage if it is a low dosage.Just a thought...talk to
your doc about it. Good Luck,Dona
