I have been taking this medication for 7 days now.I had slight diarrhea at first but that seems to have gone. My biggest issues with this medication is that it has affected my taste, nothing tastes good to me right now. No insomnia or other side effects at this time.

I already suffer with hypoglycemia occasionally and I took this with two bowls of fruit
