Metformin can help you lose weight!
This is the second time I’ve heard this, but this time there are studies and links to studies to back this up. On this page there is a list of studies about the effectiveness of using Metformin for PCOS. A side benefit is quite a bit of weight loss too.
The crazy thing is that Metformin has been shown to help with mental conditions as well. Wow. Crazy stuff. There is also the top three side effects caused by Metformin listed as well. Now I know why you can’t have alcohol while on this. It can substantially increase your risk of getting lactic acidosis which is fatal. Now why can’t they print that on the medicine bottle? Instead of the generic DON’T DRINK ALCOHOL WHILE ON THIS MEDICATION which does nothing to stop people, they should tell us the reason like DON’T DRINK ALCOHOL OR YOU WILL DIE PAINFULLY. Seriously.
The main side effect is a decrease in B12. And killer diarrhea which is what I ran into. I have the extended release pills, XR, so I’m very unlucky in that I can’t cut the pills. I’d like to try taking 2 1/2 pills, but you can’t cut the pill! So I’m stuck getting that third pill in. Every time I add it I am in the bathroom sicker than hell 12 times a day. Ugh. I want this miracle weight loss everyone speaks of.
