I was on the 7 days straight. That is the program that was approved by the FDA. There is a person where I get my shots that has been on the five dayschedule for eight years.
For side effects you will notice a reddening of the local area of each of the shots. It will feel like a sunburn, but not too bad. I will get a lethargic feeling by about the fourth day of the shots that lasts a couple of days after the end of the shots. Have some MiraLax on hand and start taking it the first day of the shots to prevent constipation from anti-nausea pills.
Other than that I didn't have side effects and often would go golfing the same day of shots.
