How did you ever get through the five weeks of the liquid Thiamine. I'm at a point that I can't take it any more. I feel like a little kid refusing to take his medicine.

Any Ideas? I'm 2weeks out and have 3 weeks left. This is the nastiest stuff ever.

Talk to your doctor. Maybe they will let you start on sublingual B vitamin. It's worth a shot because you need to keep your B vits up. Lana

I agree it was NASTY! And it only got worse because I think I wasn't shaking it up as well as I should have the first few weeks and so I was getting more of the syrup then I was later in the routine. I even tried putting it in a glass with some water to gulp it down more like a shooter and that worked for a while. The Iron chewables aren't bad and an alternatiave that you should be able to handle already.
