I never take both doses at the same time (full 1000mg). Tried it once and made me nauseous and headachy. Listen to doctors about PBC, not the web.

I had Bariatric weight loss surgery and need to take this for a while in order to prevent gallstones from forming since I am losing weight fast. So far so good. But be sure to take as prescribed.

I am feeling tired each day more so than before I started using it. I have been taking it going 3 weeks and I continue to feel more tired than the day before. I was wondering after reading how it could be dangerous to a person if I took certain Antabioits along with other drugs example..xanax,paxil,thioroid, calcitrol,2 calcium 600 mg with Vitimin D in it 2 in AM 2 at bed time. However, back to Calcitrol, I use it 3 times aweek. I hope I made a little sense. I'm just concered as to why I feel so tired from the time I get up and all day. If you could help me, I' curious if you could just let me know at your convince. I know some of the main reasons for what I have is due to drinking. I drinked wine from may 1980 to Dec. tthen I started one half year later drinkin mixed drinks. I had never drinked in my whole life But, Sept.25th 1985 I quit, COLD TURKEY and I have not drinked since.Due to a car wreck in 1970 I took too many TYLENOL over a peroid of years and found out how it could effect a person's Liver. I aam taking ALEVE since I can't take ASPARIN.Again, I appreciate your and hope I hear from you....Thank You..Patsy Moore Read More Read Less
