It took about 6 weeks for the fatigue and nausea to fully go away, but it is truly life changing for me. I was hesitant to go on it from everything I read about it but now I am on 60mg and so happy I toughed out the side effects. Before going on it I was bedridden for 6 months, walking with a cane at one point. Now I’m back to daily activities, with somewhat of a social life. I still have bad flares but not as often as I did, and of course I’m still limited to things I can do, it’s not a miracle drug, but it’s definitely worth a shot if you can tolerate the side effects. Oh, and one thing I learned accidentally is that it works better in combination with a large dose of melatonin. Good luck!

I tried it for three weeks but it made me sleep all the time. So I came off of it. Many people say it is good for fibromyalgia.

Don’t. I want off it, but so addictive. Slowly reducing dose. Weight gain and withdraw symptoms if I miss a pill!! Try everything else first

I took it for two weeks, but had to go off of it because it gave me severe diarrhea and made my heart race.
