I'm currently on 1500 Met on doctors request. I have similar side
effects that you described. I'm extremely tired, nausesous, etc. I was
taking 1000Met for about 6 months before my doctor upped my dosage. I
didn't have as strong of side effects when I was on that dosage but it
didn't help me any either. Still no periods even when on 1500. I don't
know if this helps at all...but you're not the only one.
