I lost about 10 lbs at first when I started taking Met. I think that was due to all the side affects and not wanting to eat something that would upset my stomach. (My Dr. didn't have me gradually get used to Met and I started out with 2000mg a day right from the get go). Anyways, I lost some but have gained that back and another 10 lbs. I wasn't happy about that, unfortuneately I'm not one that loses weight just by taking Met. I did find that I felt better. I have been on it for 13 months now and I don't want to "fall asleep" all the time now, hair growth has subsided tremendously (though I wish it would go away altogether), and as long as I can keep the side affects away, I am great!
Just hang in there, I hope things work out for you. From what you said, it sounds like water weight gain.
Thanks,
Lana
