Hi!
I have found taking it after eating helps my nausea. I actually take it
after a bedtime snack because I've found that Glucophage makes me tired
so taking it before bed is a good solution for the sleepiness. Who
cares if I'm sleepy if I'm sleeping, right? I think that if I took it in
the morning I'd be groggy all day.
I've only been taking Glucophage for two months. My weight is holding
steady.
It has had some effect on my body, though. I have been able to get a
period on my own for the past two months! This is great news for me
since I am rarely able to get a period on my own! I'm taking a very low
dose -- 500 mg per day because I am only slightly IR but it is obviously
doing something! God bless! Tera
