Hey Spunky Chic 420,
I saw that you had asked if anyone takes 2500 mg per day. I haven't seen many people on this site above 2000. Most seem to be taking 1500 or 2000. Before I got pregnant I was taking 2000 mg daily of Avandamet (which is 2000 mg of Metformin and 4 mg of Avandia). It is not good to continue the Avandia when pregnant, so when I found out, my doctor switched me back to regular metformin and upped my dose to 2500 mg. So yes, I am taking that much. My doc said that was the maximum dose. I think it is helping my blood sugar / insulin resistance levels with the increased demand on my body with the baby. I am 13 weeks along already and I am still on the 2500 and probably will be throughout the pregnancy. My doc is going to lower my dose as much as possible during breastfeeding though.
Hope this give you helpful information.
