Am in eighth week of program, up to 300 mg. Side effects not so bad now except for upset stomach, which prevacid helps, and some diahrrea, which I see my dr for a checkup in a week. Have cut my drinking in half is my estimate. However, still have some cravings in the evenings. I take half my dose at 10 am and half at 5 pm. The mental fuzziness has not affected me that badly but sometimes by brain feels kind of 'wired' or 'edgy'. Should I try to take perhaps 200 mg earlier in the day to help with the 6 pm cravings? I am taking the nutritional supplements every day and have also done the hypnotic tapes, though after doing a month of the tapes I have not done any follow up. Should I be doing any follow up with the tapes? Any suggestions so I can keep improving? Thank you so far I'm happy with the program I just want to keep improving. Have also lost 7 pounds but would love to lose 30 more! I do exercise 3 times per week.
