I have been on Glucophage (850 mg/3x a day) for a little over 2 years
now, and I must report that while symptoms do get better, they never go
away completely. If I get off schedule eating and taking my pill, I
experience stomach distress for a while. On the up side, I have lost a
tremendous amount of weight (I'm down to my goal of 110 lbs) and my
blood chemistries are normal. As miserable as the Glucophage can make
me, it is totally worth it.
