So, I started the Met last night with dinner, 500mg. So far, I feel fine, and
I've been eating normally. I'm very thirsty, but that could just be that it's like 10 degrees and dry out. The stuff I got says "SR" instead of "XR", as I've seen you gals talk about. Is there a difference?

Thanks for the advice. Fingers crossed that I continue to feel well this week, and then I have my big jump up to 1000mg! Also, is it too much to ask that my period go away already? This is day 15....

I'm not sure about the difference, I was curious about that too.. mine just say Metformin. I started mine on Saturday.. it's good that you've not had any side effects yet.

I'm very thirsty too on Met, but the usual drinks I like don't taste the same.. I usually love Diet Coke and find that I can't drink it as much, just tastes really odd and the one drink I find myself craving and drinking lots of is milk.

They're bumping you up to 1000mg that soon? My doctor hasn't even mentioned an increase in dosage yet, told me to let her know in a month how the meds are going.

15 days of a period? That has to suck with a firey passion... I hope it stops soon for you.
