I've been very lucky in terms of side effects. I started out by taking 1000mg/day in 500mg tablets, one in the morning and one in the evening. I took that for a year, all fine.
A couple of weeks ago I bumped up to 2000mg at the suggestion of my endocrinologist, all 2000mg at once in the morning in extended release form (supposedly it has less side effects, but also causes less weight loss and stuff). I haven't had any problems with that either, unless I eat way too much sugar.
I probably shouldn't, but today I had two slices of cake (one for breakfast, one for a snack this afternoon) and a cupcake (after lunch). Oops!
If you didn't take the extended-release version last time, try it if you want. I seriously haven't even /noticed/ the doubled dose. (Except for wolfing down 4 horse pills every morning.)
