Undiagnosed for years diagnosed with HgbA1c April 2005. started Metformin 500mg BID worked well loss weigh no hypoglycemia main side effect gas, minor bloating. Diet exercise helped me lose weight and control blood glucose from 8.3% HgbA1c to 6.5% presently, approximately 6 months later. Switched to Glucovance and Triamterene briefly side effects were harsh weigh gain and hypoglycemia. Switched back to Metformin only, doing well HgbA1c now 6.2%. Excellent medication for me.

I use it for my Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS). It works great.

THIS DRUG HAS HELPED ME TO CONTROL MY DIABETIC CONDITION. IT IS VEY EASY TO TOLERATE.

Prescribed for treating symptoms of Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS). After dealing with PCOS for 20+ years, I started menstruating regularly after starting Metformin and have been on a 28-day cycle ever since, without the use of birth control pills.

My doctor put me on metformin over a year and a half ago. Many people think metformin is only for people with diabetes,but it has so many other uses. I dont have diabetes. Im on it to lose weight.I'm down 45lbs so far! Great drugs with hardly any side effects. I had an upset stomach for a couple of days, but that was it!

OMG the first night I thought I was going to die on the toilet. Horrible cramping and diarrhea. After that, I took it before bed, and watched my carb intake and it really helped. Now the only time it bothers my tummy is if I eat crap, which is no good anyway! I would highly suggest taking this medication for the first time on the night before you have a day off of work, in case your diarrhea and cramping are really bad like mine were-good luck though!

I use Metformin for Insulin Resistance from my PCOS, I've been on it for 2 weeks and I still have some upset stomach frequent bowel movements, I've lost a few pounds and I can tell it's working for the insulin resistance.

I use this for PCOS, it has been effective in regulating my cycle and helping me to ovulate. We are hoping with the use of this medication we will be able to soon get pregnant. I have had no side effects from this medication.

After using metformin for about 4 months I started having back pain. The pain is moderate to severe at times and increases when in the evening after a long day. I slowed down the usage of metformin and started walking everyday 30 minutes a day as well as eating a lot less and better food. This method of exercise and diet is helping stay off of metformin and the back pain is getting less frequent.

Some upset stomch at first.
