Not a pill person...Any ideas?

Ladonnaj222 · 11-26-2002, 01:53 AM

I was given met about 2 month ago and told to start at 500mg a day then work my way up to 2000mg a day over 4 weeks. I just can not manage to do the pill thing. I did ok for about 3 days. then I'll forget the next day. Or because I have really bad eating habits (I don't eat much) I don't take my pills cuz I haven't eaten yet. I really want to get the chance to see if the met is going to work for me but I can't seem to get past this hurdle. I always tell myself I'm gonna do better today...then don't follow thru. I am a waitress with a forever changing schedule so my lifestyle does not allow a consistant schedule. Any ideas...I'm all ears.

I hear you and your complaints!!! I am the same way. I hate taking pills and i am ALWAYS forgetting to take them. However i have switched to Glucophage time release and it has helped so much. I take 2000 mg a day and i take all four pills right before i go to bed. I have not missed taking them for over two months and I GOT A PERIOD in October. So i think it is so worth trying it!!!
