Hey,
Just to throw my experience into the lot here, I also started to take my
first dose of Metformin at lunch instead of in the morning. I am on
1500 mg a day, so I take my last dose late in the evening right before
bedtime with either a snack or a Slimfast. Milk alone with that last
pill sometimes sends me into the bathroom with those terrible stomach
aches. I don't think I have lost that much weight so far, but it hasn't
been a month and I haven't gotten back into the swing of low carbing
again after a vacation.
And lastly, I really pay for it when I eat anything really bready or
sweet. Hope this helps your search for answers.
Good luck,
--

It just seems that the longer I'm on it, the worse I feel. All I know is I'm tired of feeling like this!! (BTW--thanks for responding to my message)
