Yes, I've had a drastic change in appetite since the Glucophage. I eat more than ever,but also am much more active,thus keeping the weight at bay. No sugar cravings either which is beneficial to me. I do crave certain things however,chicken kiev,cauliflower,cucumbers with yogurt and some other weird things.

The latest for me is peanut butter taken right from the jar.

Kristy had answered your question about the different types of Met,gluc etc. I don't know if it will stop.,,but are you maintainig weight?That is the issue. Are you still having sugary cravings?For me..those went away after about two months on glucophage..It may go away...I just increased my dosage from 500mg to 1000mgs...but I think I am hungry from all the fresh air I am getting and am not nauseated as I used to be.
