Avatar f tn When I got my colonoscopy my meds changed and I was being treated for diabetes. Metformin HCL 500mg was prescribed by my doctor. When I took all the meds in that I were taking she only opened up this Metformin and smelled it. She told me to smell it and it smelled like amonia. I never paid any attention to its smell. Doctor told me it was not the real metformin and the binders (chalk) used in it was probably causing me to have IBS.

587778 tn?1261397118 s own and had no problems. Then in September 2008 I started Metformin 500mg 1x a day along with my bcp. In Jan 2009 I upped the dose of Metformin to 2x a day per my doctor. I stopped my bcp in August 2009 and now am just taking Metormin 500mg 2x a day. So far it seems to be working on it's own. I had a period in August and now a period in September. And they are close in time frame.

Avatar f tn I was prescribed 500mg of Metformin, but decided to lose the weight without the medication. I am however taking 1000mg of Cinnamon, which has helped curve my appetite and keep my blood sugar in check. I thought I'd note that Metformin itself does not help restore a regular menstrual cycle, but losing all of that weight and keeping your blood sugar and hormones in check helped.
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 took my first pill today, and a little while later I got a headache and felt like I had to eat something. The weakness part went away, however I still have a headache. I was wondering how everybody eles' expierence with this medication was and if this really helps.

Avatar f tn I just got a prescription for Metformin HCL 500 mg 1 tablet a day. Can you tell me if I can have an occasional drink if I am taking this medication, or does drinking any alcohol cause a problem? Once in a while I like to have a vodka & tonic.
1256672 tn?1308690198 I am curious to the average time a woman is on Metformin alone before finding they are pregnant? What dosage are you on and for how long? I am currently on 500mg daily. I only have PCOS and not Thyroid or diabetes along with it. Just curious as to how the general population is doing. Side note-the nausea and gas only happened the first few days as I was taking metformin at night. I moved it to the morning and have been fine. I also take it halfway during my meal.
Avatar m tn I conceived my first cycle I was put on metformin currently i'm 19 weeks, I took the metformin until I was 12 weeks pregnant

Avatar n tn I take metformin 500mg twice a day. I got a little off track during the holidays and really had to focus on getting back on track. I've noticed a moderate level of cardio helps me keep My sugar levels down for example this last weekend I went out and got really wasted, a friend was in town and I over did it. Normally I don't drink at all anymore as we all no alcohol is full of sugar and extremely bad for you.
Avatar n tn I'm newly diagnosed diabetic and taking Metformin 500mg 2x a day. I have been taking it for about 10 days and have had the worse cramps and stomach pain! I'm not sure if it is my pre menstrual, which never feels like this, or the new medication. Has anyone had stomach pains or cramps as side effect of Metformin? I'm also taking Lisinopril-HTCZ.
