I take metformin, 1500mg a day, one with breakfast and two at bedtime. As for how it makes you feel, uh, well it's not pretty at first. It made me feel gassy at first and oddly enough, the only time that I felt sick was when I was eating something really greasy or when I tried to drank wine (against lable orders). The good news for me with metformin was that I did start to lose a bit of weight (about 10lbs.), and then I started to follow South Beach diet principles. For me, it works because I wasn't getting enough veggies and after talking to a nutritionist I found out that I was eating a lot more sugar and starch than I was aware of.

Hope this helps Rebecca. What's been your experience on it so far?
