Hi Maggie--
I started Met 2.5 weeks ago, and this is my first time with it. I am trying the extended release, and I am taking 1000/day (2 pills every night before bed). I am also noticing that I am getting really hungry and am also having periods where I get dizzy (though don't actually shake) and spacey. What my doctor has recommended is eating small meals throughout the day (4-5 times a day). I haven't totally eliminated the symptoms yet (and am still having intermittent problems with nausea), but I do find that eating and drinking regularly is helping me to feel better. I am still figuring out how to put running into the mix. If I feel too dizzy to run when I wake up first thing in the morning, I skip the run, eat breakfast, and work in a run later in the day. I find, though, that each day is a little different. I'd be interested in any ideas you have, too!
Good luck! |
