I figured I needed to keep taking it. I thought my body needed to get use to it. I exercise every day. Weight resistant at Curves for women. So by the 6th week I couldn't hardly walk or getout of bed in the morning. I called my doctor. Spoke to her nurse and the nurse said to go off it and that the doctor would get in touch with me the next day. I haven't heard from the doctor. But I spoke to the pharmcist and was told I could get blood clots from the cramping. I could not sleep at night.
