I quit taking it in FEbruary because I broke up iwth
my boyfrined and just stopped eating (depression). I
lost my weight and just haven't started taking it
again. I really need to. I still get sick from it,
even though it's supposed to have less symptoms than
the regular Glucophage or Metformin. Just start out
slow in low dosage and always take it with a mea
(dinner)...that should help!
