i have been taking met for a year now. At first i was getting my period...i was so surprised. But i had really bad stomach upset, so i was switched to Glucophage XR...45 days later i got another period...then i was doing good...then the doc switch me back to regular met...and my periods came again and then got lighter and shorter until no period. The i got some of that nasty drug (PROVERA) and it brought down my period three months ago...since then...nothing....

so my question is.....when is a good time to take the met so that it is effective. I know that when you take gluc xr, they say to take it on a empty stomach...like after dinner before bedtime. But is there a good time to take met? with meals??

hope you can set me straight cause im confused!

My Dr indicated that an empty stomach is not the time to take Met. He said women tend to absorb too little of the drug when taken on an empty stomach due to diarrhea. He prefers when his patients take it with food because they get more into their systems and lose less to side effects.

Besides absorption, Met is intended to regulate insulin, and insulin fluctuates the most after eating. So the best time to take your Met is with your meals.

Hope it helps!
