hey ladies!

I have been on met for ages now, and on 500mg twice a day, and i really dont think it's doing much, if anything for me, so my question is, as above, Would 2 500mg at once make it a 1000mg doseage?
I know it's a bit naughty changing the intake with out the doctors go ahead, but we only have him visit our town once a week, and his best medicine is diet and exercise, yes i agree!! but sometimes things arent that straight forward.
Has anyone else upped theirs with no doctors concent?
Thanks,
Kirst

Perhaps I'm confused as to what you guys' questions are but basically I've gone on/off Met 4 times. Each time starting at one 500mg pill a day for a week or more and then increasing to 1000mg/day (2 pills of 500mg), and eventually 1500mg/day (3 pills of 500mg). My endocrinologist wanted me to just get dose up to where I was comfy... so he didn't know I was increasing from 500 to 1000 when I did, but after I was happy, I told him, and he was happy. It's not a horrible thing, but do note when you increase and tell doc so they can check blood levels at appropriate timing from when you increased. Always watch out about that lactic acidosis that can be caused by met.

Hi, thanks for answering that, yep, thats what i meant.
i might just go to having it 3 times a day so i'm at 1500 and see if that will make a difference.

Thanks again
