Default Finshed with Met?

Is there anyone who was on Met and is now off it after it has helped you?

I'm on 1700mg a day. (I have been having regular AF since last July for the first time ever!)

I'm just wondering am I on it for life?

After I lose weight and get healthy, Af on my own for longer....can I wean myself off Met and stay healthy and have AF?
