Tecfidera question

I started Tec a week ago at 120mg 1x daily & I am into day 2 of my second week, 120mg 2x's daily. The first day, within one hour I was flushed but it went away with my taking a low dose aspirin and I haven't had any side effects since. Due to being on a lower dose and building up to the eventual 240mg 2x's a day, this is my question . Did those of you taking Tec find the side effects came later when on full dosage or they started from the first pill?

Hi Mary. I am fine as long as I eat!! skipping/ forgetting meals is a big no-no for me!! If I don't eat to feel full (all day) I start to feel really ill! Flushing only rarely and for very short periods.

Thanks @naomih, I make sure that I eat with the pill but haven't found that I need to eat all day. Will keep that in mind at higher doses.
