Hi all,

Just wondering if your Dr's have told you that there's a point in time, that if the Met hasn't regulated your cycles, assuming you've made diet/exercise changes as well, it likely won't ever happen.

For instance, has your Dr. told you that if your periods havn't returned/regulated after a year at 1500mg, or perhaps 6 months at 1000mg, they probably will never regulate?

I think I have heard that if met doesn't work in 6 mo. studies have shown that it will have little effectiveness. Check with your doc. They can do a glucose tolerance test and see where you're at....I have heard of people being on doses over 2000. Don't be discouraged.

Time is really less relevant...it has more to do with making sure you're on the right dosage and that your diet is controlled more than time. If you're on too low a dose, you could be on met indefinetly and have little results, so it's a matter of finding the right dose and lifestyle factors in place moreso than time.

I was on met for over a year with little change until I got committed to my diet and exercise and it was like a new drug. So I often tell people that if you're on a high enough dose (minimum of 1500 mg) and doing lifestyle consistently, that they should astill give it 6-12 months. Our hormones take a long time to get bungled and it takes a lot of time to get them righted..or at least it did for me.
