I've been taking it for a few weeks, and the initial side effects almost made me stop taking it entirely within the first two weeks. (Really, within the first week, I was ready to throw in the towel.)
Most everything has passed, though. Still hasn't worked for my depression, but most of the GI stuff has stopped -- provided I take the pills AFTER I've eaten rather than just before eating, as I usually do -- I'm sleeping fine again, although with a few vivid dreams, the sweating has pretty much gotten under control, and it's settled into a pretty steady state vs a vis anxiety. That took about two and a half to three weeks.
I hope that helps.
