It took me few weeks instead of taking in the morning I take it before bed so I’m sleeping threw most of the beside effects

I agree with taking it in the evening to sleep through the side effects. And give your body a few weeks to adjust.

That's a tough one. I find my response so unpredictable. Sometimes, I'm laid out for a whole weekend after the injection on Friday night. I have found that I have to avoid dairy on injection day and I take 5 mg the day after injection plus 1mg for the other six days. I like the biotin idea but I would prefer to get it naturally through eggs and bananas - French toast anyone?

I never got over daily headaches so I had to reduce my dosage. I did find that it's easier to gradually increase the dosage.
