Question First timer!!!

I think that I am going to be getting my first prescription for met tomorrow and I was just wondering if there was anything that I needed to know. I was reading some of the post on here so I have a pretty good idea but still wondering about how most of you tolerated it. I am hoping to lose some weight and get AF fixed. Any advice would be most helpful.

It made me too sick. All my friends who took it had no problem after the first day or so, but I never could quite adjust to it. My doctor changed me to Avandia and that was much better for me.

Hi..I was pretty much ok on 2x500mg dosage, as long as I took the tablet at least 30mins -1hr after food. I found I didn't really get alot of side affects doing this. My RE recently upped my dose to 3x500mg, but I found I got constipation and fairly severe wind pains/cramps. I have been told though that if you stick through it they are meant to go away. I am currently back down to the 2x500mg, but am going to give the 3x500mg another shot!!

But as you know each and everyone one of us is different!! As far as i knew everyone got the runs with it, it wasn't until I had posted and someone else about the constipation bit did I realise others were going through the same!!

Maybe best of starting it on the friday night or the weekend, or when you can be at home, just for the first few days until you can work out how you will go. Better to be safe than sorry!!

All the best and i hope you don't experience to many if any Side effects!!
