I had mis read the doctors instructions. I was supposed to start with one tablet every morning and after two weeks if there was no improvement go to one tablet in the morning and one tablet in the evening. I stsrted with one tblet in the morning and one in the evening. It was too much. In a week I am going to try again with the correct dosage
