Do you take it all at once, or do you split it up? Do you take in the morning or evening, with or without food? I was taking it all at once in the morning, but I couldn't handle the side effects. So, now I take 1000 in the morning and 1000 with dinner. I'm just wondering which way it is more "effective" in helping to lose weight. Any thoughts?

I take 1000 mgs in the morning, 1000 at night as well. My pills are 500 mg so I take two in the morning and the same at night. I haven't tried any other way but I have been taking 2000 mg for awhile now and have lost a fair amount of weight (I exercise as well).

pcos dx: first told about suspicions at age 15, officially dx in May 2004 (yes, that would be a good 12 years later!!!) 2000 mg Metformin Prenatal and fish oil
I take mine all at night because I simply cannot remember to take it other wise. It's bad enough I forget as it is lately but if I split it I may not be able to remember the next dosage. And I usually take it about an hour after dinner.

I take 2 in the AM after b-fast (which I eat at work) and two at dinner.
I don't think any particular way is more effective - I think it just depends on if you can tollerate taking it all at once or not (or if you can remember to take it twice a day, etc)
I just started taking it again after being off it for about 2 1/2 years- before that I had been on it for three years.. The first time I took it I took it right before eating breakfast and before eating dinner. I had constant stomach upset & spent most of the day on the toilet.
This time I take it 1 hr before breakfast (oatmeal so I can tolerate the Metformin) dosage is 1tab 1000mg... and then take the other 1000mg two hours after eating dinner. I have FAR less issues.. only if I push things and eat butter or cheese. I haven't had problems with salads..
Anyone have a suggestion for the BEST way to take the medication?
By the way, I weighed myself on Feb 21 and weighed 214. Weighed myself this morning and I am 203... and on day 14 I got AF. In addition to starting the Metformin I have been low carbing.I never get AF so this fantastic.
I take met 2000mg... When i first started met I was taking met XR and i took it all at the same time. For some reason when my RE called in a refill he did regular met so now I take 1 pill in the am and 1 in the evening. I try to space them out.

If you take 2000 mg, do you take it together?
