It's OK to take 1500mg and some cysters are taking 2000mg, but you shouldn't START with that high of a dose. I looked it up in my physicians desk reference when I started taking it and it even says "dose should be increased gradually to decrease stomach upset". If you are on 1500mg already and just starting, try going back down to 1000mg and see if the diarrhea gets better. If not then go back down to 500mg and start over. I took two weeks at each 500mg increase because my stomach just couldn't handle it. Your doctor didn't put you on it for high blood sugars did he? or just pcos symptoms? I have always found that listening to your body is the best thing to do. Good luck! It will get better :-)
