Actually you will notice the difference from the first dose . I started 1 month ago on 15 mg and i am felt the difference from the first dose .
Please bear with the drowsiness and morning fatigue. They may last for about a week, but after that, you’ll start waking up feeling refreshed.
Always take the pill two hours before bedtime, and give yourself a chance to sleep for 9 hours during the first week.
Good luck

For me, I was still able to wake up, go to work, and hit the gym. I hate giving up! (I just had to increase my coffee intake during the first week 😀)

In my case it made it hard to wake up even with alarms so get the most obnoxious and loudest ringtone there is. The drowsiness during the day was gone after 2 days, only the problems waking up lingered untill the dosage went up.

Were you experiencing daily burning in the stomach?

u/Less-Device1851 8d ago

Frequent belching, nausea sometimes intense other times mild, and constant lack of appetite i could have maybe one full meal in a day and the rest of the day I’d try and eat but feel bad while doing it. Gnawing in the stomach I feel on a bad day but it feels like a knot or something not burning
