On regular met I was taking 2 500mg a day but the s/e were too bad and my doc lowered it to 500. Ive gotten a new doc since and Im on 2000mg glumetza. Its just an extended release met but Ive had NO s/e. Hope that helps. I feel so much better on it than off. I'll keep it up if I can.

I just started Met XR yesterday. My doctor prescribed me 500 mg/day for a week, then up to 1000 mg/day. If the recommended dosage for PCOS is 1500 mg/day, I guess I should talk to my doctor on my next visit.

I am wondering how long do the s/e last? How long until I should see some improvement (if there is any)?

Thank you!
