Unhappy no more drugs

Has anyone sucessfully gotten off metformin and control symptons with diet and exercise alone? I also take wellbutrin for depression and would like to completely wean myself. I'm tired of the side effects. I'm really tired of the cost of the meds! Anyone try Insulite before? I was doing well on the drugs for about 2 years, but I'm getting worse now, gained all my weight back, starting having bouts of depression, etc... Would love a new way to deal with this. I'm just tired of it all. Any and all advice greatly appreciated.

I don't have any advice, but I'd like to second this.

I too would much rather prefer not to take any drugs to control it and take care of myself naturally with good nutrition and regular exercise.

That's all I can really recommend myself. Good nutrition and cardiovascular exercise 5xweek. I read a bit about some of the herbs/vitamins on this site, and I'm going to give them a try, I'll post if I notice a change.
