Loc: Maine (IBS-A stable since July '05!)

I did start with 5mg - half of a 10mg pill - and I still had the side effects, so I don't know if it would have made a difference for ya. The good news is that if you do increase, you don't go through the side effects again.

I'm trying to remember - my memory isn't the greatest. I'm not sure what kind of details you're looking for, but the first 2 days were the worst, then it got gradually better, till the end of the first week when there was no D at all. I honestly don't think there's a better time to take it. I mean, if you take it at night, the D will keep you up all night... if you take it during the day, you'll end up running to the loo anyway. LOL But of course, remember that it's only temporary - none of the side effects that I had at first have stuck around for the long-term.

Good luck with it!
