PCOS- Metformin (Is it worth dealing with the side effects)

Ladys don't be blind like me, ask your doctors questions, research a medication and the side effect before taking any medications. Don 't just take the doctors word on everything. Why do you think people get second opinions for.

Metformin is a diabetic medication usually given to people with type 2 diabetes, and has many different side effects. Is this a drug you really want in your system when you are trying to get pregnant

I take metformin simply for prediabetes. But I have some of the signs of PCOS. Would they have to change my meds?

I took metformin and thank God didnt have the poops lol. A little stomach problems the first day nothing serious or painful.

first time i was on metformin, i was fine. no side effects (SE) or anything. but, i had to stop for a few months and after that long break, i need to go back. the SE are killing me this time! i can barely get the pill down my throat too... all of a sudden it feels too big, has a bad taste, and thinking of the nausea, dizzyness, diarrhea, gagging, and sometimes vomiting discourages me from taking the pills at all. but my doc keeps telling me to push through... says SE WILL eventually go away :-(

There are other drugs that have liveable side effects unlike the Metformin. Sometimes we have to tell the doc that it's not going that way.

When I started metformin I was instructed to increase my daily dosage very slowly until the goal dosage to lessen the effects of upset stomach/diarrhea, it worked for me. For four days I took 250 mg in the morning, then four days 500 mg in the morning, then four days 500 mg in the morning with 250 mg at night, then finally 500 mg in the morning and 500 mg at night. Since I initially started metformin (3 weeks ago) I have lost 3 pounds with a healthy diet and I hope to see more improvement soon.

Also, metformin interferes with the bodies ability to absorb vitamin B12. Without enough B12, the bones can not make good red blood cells, instead releasing ones that are immature or malformed into the blood stream. These deficient blood cells can not do there job effectively, which is part of where the fatigue, malaise and a host of other problems come from.

If your doctor does not go over drug side effects with you, get a different doctor. Also, pharmacists hand out multi page sheets of information with Rx's. If yours didn't do that, get a different pharmacist.

Why in the world would you put yourself through that for 6 months?! That's seriously dangerous to your health to wait that long.

If you are having serious or problematic side effects, call your doctor right away. If your doc is unhelpful, schedule an appointment with a different doctor.

Part 2: But I was going to ignore that voice in my head because I'm frustrated, I saw your video exactly when I was at a crossroads and it popped up randomly, I know God is working and he used you to reaffirm that there's another way to live and not to submit to my current circumstances. I'm so thankful you shared this with us, and I l know this video is old so I hope everything has improved for you,and your in my prayers. Now back to glamour, i'm focusing on making my dreams come true lol!
