I will stay away from it for a while to avoid that happening again. I've been on this for almost a month and am not sure if things are better or not. Sometimes I feel good, but sometimes I dont. I'm hoping that I see an improvement soon.

It could take 6 to 8 weeks befor you feel Lex begin to work....for me it was 9 weeks. Good news is it can only get better from here, you've got just a little further to go.

Hang in there!~~~8|8
