Hello Emily, I started glucophage @ the end of Oct. & so far I have lost about 15 pounds,but I also have *tried* to watch what I eat,even though my appetite has increased.The only times I have any side effects,such as w/ my stomach, is when I eat salads.Each person will react differently to a medication.Also, since starting glucophage I have had 2 periods.I hope this helps & good luck!Happy Holidays!! Alexis T. P.S.Glucophage is the generic name for metformin.
