Question Increased dosage - personal experiences?


Hi, I posted a lot last week about how all my old symptoms had come back – and I was concerned met had actually stopped working. I have now gained a STONE (14lbs) in six weeks, and that’s on a 1500kcal low GI diet. I weigh more than I have done for three years.

So, my GP was great and has moved me back onto fast release met and has upped the dosage to 2000mg. I have an appointment to go back in two weeks, where she hopes signs of AF may materialise again – and that my weight will drop.

Ladies - can anyone give me any stories about personal experience of upping the dosage? Any weight loss? I tried for 4 days last week, but thought I should make sure I ran it past GP first!! Didn’t notice anything in those days…

Any advice? Any success stories?

Thanks – a desperate Lara
