I am, thankfully, finished with my prescription. The overall directions suggested taking it with food and water, yet the first pill of the day was supposed to be taken prior to eating breakfast, and the last pill of the day was supposed to be taken before bed.

That's usually when the tummy upset was the worst, but it honestly wasn't that bad - kinda just felt like very intense heart burn. I was just cranky when I made that post because I hate going to the doctor and I was soooooo itchy.
I'm honestly super-shocked that the doctor DID diagnosed me correctly... I swear he didn't even look at me. But the hives are gone now, so either they would've gone away on their own by now, or he did his job. Whichever it is, I'm just glad to not be itchy any more and I hope it doesn't happen again.
