I have been on metformin for about a month, and I am SO tired now. I upped my dosage from 500mg of the XL once daily to 1000mg daily. I feel sick half the time, have little energy..I do drink alcohol..I'm scared that its that lactic acidosis they talk about, because I just feel drained.. Any opinions??

I have been so constipated since starting metformin! Unreal! I hope it helps with my pcos, I got my first real period a week after starting it! I also hope I can lose some wt! I gained 8 lbs after stopping my birth control 2 1/2 months ago. Yikes! I have had pcos for years and I think bc helped it, but now I am using metformin to help me out.
