and honestly, half the time I didn't even feel them. It's very different when you're stabbing yourself. The pills were expensive and the injectable stuff was cheaper than dirt.

If you're on a once a week dose, you'll notice it the day after. The rest of the time, you'll feel pretty good.

I had to go off it because my GI system rebelled. I know some people who have been on it for 20 years with no problem.
