Metformin makes you poop when you eat bad things. Change your eating habits while taking it and you will be much much better.

The extended release was a game changer vs regular Metformin.

Metformin is garbage, it never lowered my glucose but did make me sick to my stomach constantly

Regular Metformin has been taking me THROUGH IT! I'm talking to my doctor about changing to the extended release because I am currently on the lowest dose and MISERABLE

Metformin was amazing. I had irregular periods, diabetes and had pcos. It kicked my whole system after using for 6 months. Regulated my periods, managed my pcos, my sugars became normal and became pregnant that was 17 years ago. I had diarrhea for the first 2 weeks when I started it which was a side effect and now I thank god I stuck it out. Like any med each med can effect ppl differently.

Extended release is just as bad. Violent explosive diarrhea all day everyday.

Metformin has the opposite effect for me. I lost my gallbladder decades ago, so everything went straight through. A low dose of Met slowed it down. Wish I had it years ago.

I love metformin. I have pcos and it’s lowered my A1c and helped me lose weight. 10/10 and worth the intestinal issues but mine are very minor.
