Angel is right..taking it wth food helps a lot. I also wish I had known how slowly you can dose up your Met. I would clear it with your Dr, but a lot of ladies here start at 500 and stay there for a week or two (or more) until their body handles it well. Then they continue to dose up slowly like this (in 250 mg or 500 mg increments) until they hit their full dose without problems.
Also, have you moderated your carbs at all? I found this almost totally eliminated my side effects...I cut my carbs back to between 60-100 g per day and it made an instant difference. Often you don't have to go super low carb to really feel a difference.
I know how hard it is to start the drug (and be THAT familiar with your bathroom!  ), but try to be patient with your body starting out. Take care.
