[QUOTE="Resurgam, post: 1320463, member: 355878"] I am supposed to take one tablet with meals, it isn't the slow release type. I have only been diagnosed two weeks, but have found that I have lost a lot of my aches and pains and have more energy so I can get upstairs faster - that is a good thing. I find that I need to take the tablet during a meal, not even just before or just after will do - otherwise the consequences are even more severe. I have been eating a low carb diet, which usually results in constipation when at a very low level - not this time. Perhaps contacting your doctor about the problem might help - there might be alternatives - though if you took the tablet at a different time of day or in a different way it might reduce the effect. Perhaps there is a lower dose, and you could take two at a wide interval - or chop one in half - but they are definitely not a nice thing to take. [/QUOTE]
