Scared of Metformin! Help

HI everyone..

Well, I got my official PCOS diagnosis today after an ultrasound. My doctor gave me the go ahead to start Metformin.

My problem is, I am super paranoid to take it after reading about all the side effects. I am a worry wart by nature, and reading about Lactic Acidosis, etc really scares me!

Has anyone had any real problems taking it? Do they benefits outweigh the risks?

I am not planning on trying to conceive until the Fall. Does it make sense to start the medication this early?

My only symptoms of PCOS are irregular periods, polycystic ovaries on Ultrasound and Hirsutism.

Thanks everyone! Beth
