Metformin liquifies my intestines

I’m sure you really didn’t want to know that, but there you have it. I’ve been trying to take the 3rd pill of Metformin for a few months now, but every time I try I end up in the bathroom losing 10 pounds of water. I have the diarrhea so bad that I get completely dehydrated.

I’m sure that taking only 2 pills is not making the Metformin as effective as it could be. Maybe it’s not working at all without that 3rd pill. I don’t want to try and take it again though. I mean it is hell!

    Hey, I saw that you have this blog from one of your posts on Weight Watchers. I also have PCOS. I am most definitely struggling with a lot of the things you are. I got so fed up with things that I just stopped taking everything–all medications–for a long time. Now I am just starting to get back in the swing of things. I was on Metformin for awhile. There are different versions of Metformin, and I have tried a couple of them. You should ask your doctor about trying a different version. It might be better. Also, you could get on a hormone supplement for your facial hair growth. I go to an endrocrinologist, and I find it helpful. Just some ideas!
