i am taking 1500mg a day and have not lost any weight at all! i have been taking it for 7 months now!
I am on 2000 mg a day 1000 in morning and then again at dinner. I haven't had too bad side effects I've just had a bit a nausea. as for weight i've lost nine pounds. I haven't had a period yet, in the five weeks I've been taking it, and I'm not ttc though I'd just really like to see some weight loss results. I don't eat simple sugars, I only ever eat carbs from fruit vegetables and whole grains.
Hi, I am taking 1500mg Metformin a day, I think I may have lost about 5lbs, not much but I have only been taking it for about 2 mths, I also have cut down on mu sugar intake. no soda, candy anything that has alot of sugar in it, I feel better since I have stopped all that, I still have sugar in my diet but very little like gum which has little or no sugar, the body still needs it, but I did have some side effect when I first started it, but not too much now I take 1 in the morning and 2 at night , so that way if I get sick I would not know it cause Im sleeping!! anyway hope this helps..
Good luck to you!!!
I've been on metformin for 4 months, and haven't lost any weight- how many mg are you on? I take 1000mg/day. I haven't gained any weight either, which is good, but I wouldn't have minded a loss ;) We're ttc, so maybe it has something to do with the clomid. I've had some bad side effects to the metformin- I take one dose at night, with the idea of sleeping through it, but a few times I've woke up with nausea and gotten sick. If I don't eat & drink with my morning dose, I get bad stomach cramps. Hope it's treating you okay!
It depends on your body. The first 10-15lbs comes off easy, then the weight slowly drops after that. Have you changed anything in your diet? I would say this is normal, as this would happen to a normal person not taking metformin. Losing weight super fast means it wont stay off, you need it slow and steady. So continue with it and you will see results again.
