This might just be me, but, I have a REALLY difficult time remembering to take it when I'm supposed to. My other medications I take at a certain time, but, if I forget to take it on time, it isn't such a big deal. I literally have notes posted in various spots, to try and remind me to take it.

Give it a chance. Even the nausea doesn't last too long. In my case, it seems to help keep the blood sugar in balance for a long time.
