Non-diabetic, I take it for PCOS. I started 500 XR once a day 5 weeks ago. I've always been a foodie. I love my sweets but I was generally always down to eat anything at any time. My life was basically just waiting until my next meal. I'm fairly disciplined in other areas of life, but food was always hard for me. I never felt satisfied even after stuffing myself. Since being on metformin I've developed an interesting relationship with food. I will crave a few things day to day, have them, and then just move on with my life. No more eating until I feel sick. No more compulsive snacking. On the flip side it has made meal planning harder because nothing except for a select few things sound good to me at a time. I was on a "salad with chicken every day for lunch" kick for a week. Then today, just nope, don't like that. I've resorted to just playing it by ear and going grocery shopping more often. Anybody else have this experience? Is this my new normal? I maybe had some *light* nausea 2-3 weeks in, but that's gone now. No other side effects. My doctor will probably raise my dose next appointment.
