Avatar m tn What is more challenging is she is not able to go and live just anywhere without being attached to so many life changing responsibilities.

393893 tn?1283551230 Hi ladies. have any of you ever had to take metformin? I have been on it only a week now but my body is doing weird things and it is a bit unsettling.

Avatar f tn My doctor just placed me on Metformin 500mg for 7 days, and then I will take it twice a day after that.

I was wondering how everybody eles' expierence with this medication was and if this really helps.
