    Hi Anne. I am in week 11 and tummy still has its moments. I would say give it another week and the upset tummy should stop.

    Good luck

    I'm about to finish week four at 50 and mine's worse than when I started as I've been on antibiotics too (last day today thankfully!) so hoping it settles again afterwards, it was getting much better prior to the antibiotics smile

    Heya Anne,

    Yep, i'm on day 25 and still have the runs and feeling sick, I still get random pains and mornings where I wake up weak and shaky, it's crap, but it's normal smile

      50mg daily, Zopiclone 3.75mg for sleep when i need to.

      But on top of that i've cut out caffeine entirely, massively decreased my suger intake (all zero cal/sugar drinks now) And immediately started eating healthier, as when I was on Sertraline last time it made a significant difference in my side effects and how I felt

    I wouldn't worry about it too much, my doctor when she first gave ITS to me said it would take about 3 weeks to take full effect. I've been on 50mg for months now and still have a stomachache most of the time just they aren't as bad.

    I'm still dealing with the runs...for a month! Started when I went from 50mg to 100. Mentally I feel so much better. I think the runs are better, but far from normal 😝
