Tamm, did you tell your doctor how lousy you feel? Most of us start out slowly. That prevents severe stomach side effects. I was on only 500 a month at half a pill a day. Then, gradually increased the dose. Met definitely made me fatigued the first month or two. I slept like a rock and was always ready to go to sleep. The fatigue does goes away eventually. Maybe you need to cut back until you adjust. I also found that even though I was sleepy, if I forced myself to get vigorous exercise, I felt better. I also think the bigger the meal, the easier the met is on the stomach, generally. Hope you feel better. I suggest calling the doctor.
