Some people don't have them at all, some have mild and others quite serious ones. The policy is to start at the lowes dose (500 mg/day) and increase it gradually. You should take them with meals and if nothing helps, imodium is still a bet. I would not start clomid before giving metformin alone a chance. >>Hope this helps >>Sam (Ob/Gyn,RE) >> >>> I recently was diagnosed with PCOS and was prescribed Glucophage.

-- Debbie, if your main goal is to conceive, and then worry out correcting the PCOS, your doc my try you in injectable meds. I took prover to start a period, then fertinex (inj. med) to mature my egg, hcg to ovulate and progesterone suppos. to support both of my pregnancies. I didn't take anything between pregancies because I was breast feeding. I am now taking met. I do seem to feel better. My doc went straight to inducing ovulation the quickest way because I had been married 9 years and trying to conceive for a number of years through my regular obgyn and taking clomid. Good luck.
