I'm a Diarrhea Diva!!

I'm having such a hard time with diarrhea and Tykerb i'm only taking it 5 days a week and letting my body rest over the weekend. I feel horrible doing that, but i'm stage 3 taking it for my own piece of mind, and i just can't eat anything while taking it. I've lost 5 pounds already. Tykerb takes my appetitie and my taste away. When i stop it for a day i have a regular stool. I had a bowl of cereal with milk one night and was up allll night with terrible stomach cramps and diarrhea. Will i get used to the Tykerb, or is this something that will not go away?
