Hi All!

Just found this site - lot of great info here. It's nice to know I'm not alone. The one thing I do feel a little bit alone on and have baffled the Dr's with is the fact that after starting Met in Oct. 05, I've gained a total of 18 pounds and am pretty much hungry all the time. Weird, huh?

My Endo has been a specialist for Diabetes and PCOS for 18 years and has NEVER heard of anyone gaining weight or feeling hungry while taking Met. He was actually angry with me on my last checkup b/c of the weight gain. I have been watching what I eat since I started taking it - anywhere from 1200-1500 cals a day - more protein than carbs (the good ones) and still gained that much weight, still hungry most of the time.

My pharmacist says he's never heard of anyone going through this either. I know it's not normal for those on the drug, but I was wondering if anyone else has experienced weight gain while taking Met? If so, were you able to do anything about it? Anyone have any advice?

Thanks in advance for any input.

Have a good one,

Melissa
