Hi Ladies,
I've searched elsewhere and may have missed it, but I have a question about the diff types of Met. NOT the extended release (had a bad time with that), but just regular Met. I began taking it in September, working up from 500mg to 1500mg in 3 weeks. My pill was a white, round pill. I lost 10lbs. I also broke up w. my BF and was eating weird, but my stomach REALLY flattened out. All day it looked like it did first thing in the morning. I got lazy and around November I started REALLY slacking on taking it. I tried switching to ER so I would have to take it less, but I was so bloated I looked pregnant. One month ago I went back to regular Met, but got it filled at Rite Aid instead of CVS and was given oval white pills and also was not charged, insurance covered the whole thing, instead of being charged $20. I went right back to my 1500mg dose, but the 10lb 'gain back' I experienced from Nov-March has not BUDGED.
I know that Met does not cause weight loss in everyone, but I did experience it with the round pills and now with the oval pills, I've not lost at all. For the last 2 weeks I've worked out 1 hour a day, 5-6 days a week and have completly cut out fast food, soda, candy, bread products - pretty much eating WW Core.
Any ideas if this is related to a generic Rx issue or if the 10lbs I originally lost was just water weight? (I was definitly using the bathroom 4-5 times a day and sometimes it made me throw up).
I appreciate any input!
