In the beginning I got a strange headache that sat right on the top of my head. I felt queasy, extremely bloated, lethargic, almost flu-like for less than a week as the chemical changes began taking place. Because digestion is slowed you can not really take an over the counter drug to ease these symptoms. I then figured out a schedule and when I could eat comfortably. The side effects for me calmed to the point I can tolerate them. If I over eat I will feel bad later when the drug really kicks in. So I don't over eat. Once it kicks in I am not hungry for hours and am never starved. Previously I felt starved often due to my high glucose level.

It is said that some people throw up daily. I have not had that occur at all. The medicine has a half life so I can always see that an end is in sight when I have felt queasy.
