    anyone on metformin ?

    just started taking it today - I'm not diabetic it is for insulin resistance. I know a lot of people are on it ...found it easy or any problems?

    All my doctor would say is ' you may get a bit of bloating'.

      'each tablets contains 850mg Metformin hydrochloride' ..not sure if that is the same thing.

        Hi Sarah, metformin is just the generic name for glucophage. I'm taking the 500 mg extended release type & luckily, I haven't noticed any problems other than excessive thirst.

          good to know ..I have started to take what doctors say about meds with a grain of salt. I have found it useful to ask people that actually takes them about how they really effect their bodies.

          Thanks
