Everyone is different but for me I could tell within a few days. It helps me with freq. I also don't have a problem with constipation most of the time.

Knocked me out...kinda scarily so and I was used to meds in me. People couldn't wake me up.....anyway that was appreciated and it did help my pain for sure...don't really remember if it helped my frequency though...it may have. It helped after the 2 or third dose I think for me. For me it was best to not take it because it put me into a dangerously deap sleep.

It never did actually help me with frequency/urgency or pain, but it does help my Percocet work better and last longer, so it's useful to me for that.

Blessings, Lori
