Hi there,
I've had both of these problems... I think if you stick to the same dose, you do get used to it. I've started taking a high dose for 3 days a week and a low dose for the other four. By high, I mean 4-5g! Low means 1-2g.
Re: backaches, I've minimised these by making sure I don't take anything after about 8pm, and drink a fair bit afterwards. I've found that 1 pilll seems to last about 3 hours in my system, so this gives it time to reduce before bedtime.
I'm convinced that the stuff collects in the kidneys, a bit like lactic acid in the muscles causes cramps. I have no real basis for this other than a hunch... but it seems to solve the problem!
