I was diagnosed w/PCOS last June and have been quietly reading posts and articles. (a stealth cyster...!) Yesterday, reading the Met/Gluc board I noticed that many cysters have been prescribed 1500-2000mgs per day while I have been dutifully chugging along at 500mg wondering when I'd see ANY action (weight-wise). (Although my cholesterol has normalized at this dosage with Lipitor for the first time in my life!)
Your information caused my physician to quickly research and reconsider my dosage. I wouldn't have known to challenge her decision if you hadn't shared your information.
Thank you for your willingness to fully disclose your symptoms, diagnosis and treatment.
I hope to report some good news within months!

A knowledgable cyster is a powerful cyster! I think you'll find far better results with this dosage of MET...but make sure you combine that with a low/moderate carb diet and exercise too.
All the very best!
