Side Effects Nausea for the first 4-5 days, blurred vision, extremely slow colon, after 10 days trouble sleeping, itching on and off for 10 days which may mean a bit of allergic reaction, not as effective for pain the longer I took it, mild to moderate sedation at first and your brain does not work like it should!!!
Additional
Thoughts Get a prescription for an anti nausea medication just in case, do not drive, drink large amounts of water, eat more fiber, and if possible some form of exercise to help keep colon working or get a colonic.
