Is it available in NZ? I was told today its not but I knew if anyone would know (aside from my doc), my cysters would know!
I'm considering going back on Met cos I never found any cinnamon supplements. I haven't had much of an appetite lately and as a result the junk food has been creeping in and the weigh creeping up. I hate cooking up a decent meal at the best of times, even less when i'm tired and stressed, its easier to nibble away at the toddlers left over christmas chocolate. If I go back on met I get 'punished' for the bad foods with the side effects - which got me wondering whether or not ER/XR is available in NZ?

I too have been wondering the same thing. I was never offered it when given met. but was wondering if maybe it would be better as the side effects are killers as i am finding if i take the met then sometimes i wont go out cause i know whats gonna happen. I am scheduled to go back and see doc so hopefully i might find out for us. I find i forget to take the met. so would be easier to get it over and done with in one hit.

Wow!! I can't believe it's not available there.....I was sure it would be. We have it here - I just started it not long ago. I still get the side effects from it, just not so bad.
I hope they make it available for you girls soon!!!
I wonder if it is available in NZ but just phenomenonally (sp) expensive because pharmac doesn't subsidise it?
All the more reason for me to apply for a few of those pharmac jobs that keep coming up! lol
