Avatar f tn When people are given metformin for weight loss purposes, and they quit metformin afterwards, what symptoms does metformin discontinuation bring?
Avatar n tn It could be withdrawal. Or, you may be that you're scared because you are no longer on this med. Maybe you should talk to your Dr about a longer acting anti anxiety med. Xanax does'nt stay in your system for very long.
Avatar m tn I am a 37 year old female on Methadone Maintence for about 4 1/2 years. I have been having issues lately with my dose being stable. The doctor at my program suggested I have my thyroid tested for underactivity due to symptoms such as weight gain, eyebrow loss, sluggishness, numbness in my hands, swollen feet, legs and hands plus family history. There is also a family history of early menopause and my hormone levels show I am in that range.

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. At first I thought what I was experiencing was normal but I was researching metformin on line and it said if you have any of these certain symptoms to get emergency medical attention right away because it can be life threatning. It named off many side effects that were normal and were not normal. I had both.
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.
393893 tn?1283551230 Hi ladies, starting metformin soon and I was wondering what to expect? I've been looking online and it seems to be a medicine for diabetics although I've seen women talking about it on the forum in the past. I'm sure my re explained this to me, but I was overloaded with other info so it probably went in one ear and out the other-so much to remember. Thank you for any help!!
435139 tn?1255460391 I don't have pcos, or endometriosis or diabetes but I have been ttc for almost a year and I am trying to research some things to talk to my doctor about when I go on Friday...I brought up Clomid but my dr. didn't like that idea and my friend said that her doctor put her on metformin (she has pcos though) and if not pregnant in a couple months, she is going on clomid...Does Metformin help you get pregnant?
1657208 tn?1404165128 i am a diabetic, and have been put on metformin due to the fact of me being a diabetic as well as having pcos. i get my AF every month. I was wondering if there is a chance I could get pregnant on it.. I have been trying to conceive for 2 years now. I had stopped taking metformin for awhile because of my stomach hurting when I took it and now I am on 1000mg a day. Any advice is much appreciated. Do you think it will work or what should my next step be?
623922 tn?1223406991 I know that I ovulate but she thinks the Metformin/Glucophage might help me. Has anyone been on Metformin that can tell me what to expect? Are there any success stories for people with a similar situation? Thanks!
Avatar f tn I've never used metformin, so I'm not really sure, but I think it helps with PCOS no matter what your weight. Anyone else?
Avatar n tn When I went to my woman wellness exam I told my doctor that my husband and I were having a hard time conceiving and that I have always been irregular with my menstral. She put me on Metformin and my question's are What effect will this have on me and my body as I am not diabetic and if I take this and get pregnant what effects may this drug have on the baby?
