Well, I thought that Metformin helps women with PCOS LOSE WEIGHT! I started Metformin XR 6 weeks ago and in that time, I've gained 8 pounds. The bad thing is I started out before the medicine at 193lbs.
Has ANYONE had this not so typical side effect? I'm totally frustrated and losing hope for losing weight.

Help a Cyster out please??

OMG, that's so funny, I was just about to go into this section and post the same question!!

I'm on regular Met (1500mg) since Dec 06 and I'm also a thin cyster so I didn't want to lose weight with it, but I also didn't want to gain weight. I actually initially wanted to gain a few pounds to get my BMI up to 19 or 20...but this is ridiculous!

Anyone know what it means if you GAIN weight on Met?

I'm going to my Dr. on Mon so I'll ask him then and let you know if I find anything out.
