I too take Metformin and unfortunately have the bad side effects. I was to start with taking one 500mg pill a day and work my way up to 3 a day (a total of 1500 mg). Well I couldn't do it. I am able to handle the two a day, but that's it. So my RE said to just stick with that. It does seem to be helping. I have noticed less facial hair, which was my biggest complaint. I haven't really noticed much weight loss, but definetely a decrease in appetite. Good luck and I agree with the above. I say start off slow and work your way up.
