PLEASE don't listen to this poster, ladies. What she is advocating is both illegal and dangerous. Even FDA-monitored American pill distribution can go wrong---look at the Lovenox and Digoxin fiascos in the last year!! Do NOT risk your health with "Mexican" pills that have NO regulations or oversight up to American standards, from companies that are already willing to break the law to give them to you!
Saying that "oh, Met's fine, unless you have liver problems already" discounts the small percentage of women that have liver problems CAUSED by Met. Yes, it may be a small percent. But they exist, and since I don't hear you claiming to be a board-certified physican, I don't think you're in any place to say that Met is safe for everyone. There's a reason many doctors require bloodwork first!!
From a SELF magazine article:
"Drug maker Pfizer discovered
Latin American Counterfeiters copying one of its products
with boric acid, floor wax, and leaded highway paint. "If you self-prescribe, you have a fool for a doctor," says Ronald Wender, M.D. president of the division of medical quality at the Medical Board of California in Sacramento. "People who order from these sites don't understand interactions or side effects," he adds. Nor do some of the doctors, it seems. In
SELF's experiment, one physician in Pakistan, working for an Australian site,
prescribed the antianxiety drug Xanax, the infertility treatment Clomid and the epilepsy therapy Topamax - all to the same person. That's one frightening cocktail. Xanax and Topamax taken together could sedate you into a stupor. Withdrawal from Xanax can cause seizures, a threat to epileptics. And Xanax and Topamax are not recommended for most pregnant women."
Just ask your doc. And if your doc won't give it to you, try another doc. And if THAT doc won't give it to you, maybe you need to consider the idea that MET IS NOT FOR YOU.
