cbowman- What are you taking the met for? are you Insulin resistant? if so I would recommend seeing the doctor to up the doseage that is a fairly low dose. I take 1500mg a day

It's worth talking to your doc about it.

I take 1000 mg and never really noticed a physical difference, but my bloodwork turned right around. I'm personally in favor of using the lowest effective dosage possible. Maybe wait and see how your labs go, depending on what you're on it for.
