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,

-- Elle

This is the dosage my Dr. has started me out on. I didn't feel sick when I first started taking it. 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) > ~Denise~

Did you start on a lower dose? Sometimes you may nedd to either or both of these things to help combat the nausea. > Love Emma
