Advice & Tips
I take all 3 of my pills at night, I only take them just before going to bed, my family call these my loopy pills. I don't have leg issues with these pills. I can't take these during the day as they'lll literally knock me out like a light.

Advice & Tips
I know alot of people don't use IVSM but I wouldn't be walking, talking, if it wasn't for this med. For the first time I'm now on 4AP for a flare and it's working great, Hopefully I won't have to use this again but I will if need be,
