    That did not happen to me.  I did have extreme headaches in the beginning that went away after a short time.  It works for me very well, so if you can hack it I'd try to. Of course I would tell my dr. this is a symptom you are having.  Sorry you are going through this.  Perhaps some foods are interacting with it or you could take an anti-diahhrea medicine?  By the way you are supposed to take it with food and a lot of water.  Good luck!

      Thanks. The symptoms got so bad that I had to call the hospital and they immediately told me to

      Stop as the side effects were far too severe. So now back to square one. Thanks for your reply
