Hi - just started on this as due to the sudden wt gain with no change in my dietary habits except that I have started menopause and lost 3 people very close to me in a matter of 6 months - drs feel this may have caused hormonal shifts and that the Metoformin wil help losing the weight have been on it for 1.5 weeks and have not seen any effects - dont remember the dosage I am on - taking it bid. thanks
