Yep but they have a slow release formula now that helps with that as well! It usually goes away after a month or so

Yes unfortunately that's one of the side effects. For some people it goes away though.

I was given them when I was first diagnosed and stopped them because of this, the stomach pain and the embarrassment. I was with my first boyfriend and just couldn't hack it.
