Re: Metformin - only 500mg/day? From: sam (anonymous@obgyn.net) Thu, 27 Sep 2001 11:40:53 -0500 (CDT) Messages sorted by: [ date ][ thread ][ subject ][ author ] Next message: sam: "Re: Questions about Glucophage" Previous message: Munchichic: "Insotol Study?" How long does metformin take to work? I was diagnosed with PCOS a few months ago and stayed on it for a while but did not notice a difference. I am just 20 and am starting to gain weight. I was told to do more weight work because the PCOS is causing low bone density. I feel like it is making no difference and i cannot stop gaining weight - does metformin have a high success rate? thanks - sam At Mon, 24 Sep 2001, Cindy wrote: > >On Mon, 24 September 2001, Lori V. wrote: > >> Hello- >> >> I have been reading a lot of the posts and it seems that most of you are >> on 500mg 3 times a day. > >Well, 500 mg isn't enough to make a difference, from what I've read -- minimum is 1500 mg, and optimal is at least 2000 mg.

I myself was taking only 500 mg for awhile because I couldn't handle anything more.

Perhaps s/he just wanted to see if you could handle it first. > >Cindy Next message: sam: "Re: Questions about Glucophage" Previous message: Munchichic: "Insotol Study?"
