Hi all,

I am 5'2" and currently weigh about 130lbs. I've been steadily losing weight since weaning my second son (he weaned about a month ago around 14 months). Anyway, I like that I'm finally losing weight, partly due to the weaning, bcp's (Apri) because of very low hormone levels, and Metformin, 1000mg. I just called my dr's office yesterday to ask about the Metformin dose, and she told me to eventually kick it up to 2000mg!!! Also, she checked my liver before I started the meds, but not yet after...I assume she's waiting till I hit the dose she wants me at....

Do any of you take that much?

I took 2,000 mg of Met for about a year - until I got pregnant. 1,500 mg is considered the minimum theraputic dose for PCOSers. You'll see a lot of ladies on this site who take 2,000 mg - occasionally even more.

Good luck!

My doctor started me on 2000!!!!! 4 pills every night. Yikes!! I can't eat ANYTHING but I am getting through it and 5 days later am doing better. They say you need to above 1500 to see any benefits.
