I've taken 4g twice a day in juice with a meal for 2 years. I have much less fibromyalgia pain, so I require fewer pain meds. Puritans Pride Myology brand best of 3 brands I tried. Less side effects and more effective and no sugar cravings. I cut the dose if I start getting a headache.

I am having issues similar to others, extreme lethargy, inability to concentrate and muscle pain has been made much worse. I took two scoops / day X 3 days then one scoop on the fourth day. It's day five and I feel only slightly better. I hope this did not do permanent damage.

Tried this for my fibro but did not bet any of the benefits that others on here have; gave me horrible sick headaches that felt like the ones I get when my blood sugars crash. Took them both with and without food, made no difference. Happy for you if it works for you; was a major disappointment for me!

I was so excited reading about what seemed to be a magic cure. But D-Ribose made me very sick for days. I kept taking it, thinking that maybe I just need to get used to it. It felt worse than coming off of lyrica (which was a horrible drug for me). I had horrible headaches, severe physiological anxiety throughout my body, crawling out of my skin, I wasn't able to think straight. My brian f ... Show Full Comment

I was so excited reading about what seemed to be a magic cure. But D-Ribose made me very sick for days. I kept taking it, thinking that maybe I just need to get used to it. It felt worse than coming off of lyrica (which was a horrible drug for me). I had horrible headaches, severe physiological anxiety throughout my body, crawling out of my skin, I wasn't able to think straight. My brian felt like it was moving through mud. I had a very difficult time speaking and writing work emails. My muscles ached even more, and walking up stairs was so difficult, as I felt every muscle in my legs strain to work. I still feel hungover from these horrible days. I am writing this so that others can be aware, as no one has written about side effects like these. I took only one to two teaspoons a day (dosage is one to three teaspoons a day). I am 28 years old and have battled with FM throughout my 20s. I was once a happy, vibrant, athletic young person- now I am always exhausted, in constant pain, anxious, sad, irritable- just struggling every day to support myself and to try to make some life for myself, while this crippling condition ruins everything. So try Ribose, as it makes sense that it would work. But we aware of negative reactions and stop taking it if you feel like crap. Cause I lost days out of my life feeling even more like crap than I already do, and am even more behind on life. I have tried everything, and I will continue to try everything. There has to be something out there that works.

Very good for pain relief. I now take it twice a day, 5 mg. I recommend it for anyone who has fibromyalgia.
