I dont know if its in my head or not but at the same time if you and I are not alone in this, its likely a result of being off Met.Aishahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00756390674173743871noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8850092086005864991.post-4656843085691842742010-01-02T20:26:12.773-05:002010-01-02T20:26:12.773-05:00I have PCOS, but I'm not IR, so I don't ne...I have PCOS, but I'm not IR, so I don't necessarily need Met, but my doc is of the "can't hurt, might help" camp on that one...so I am on it and I don't know if it's legit or placebo, but I feel so much better when I am taking the Met. I would miss my 3 horse pills if I had to stop taking them. I hope you can resume soon! If I were you, I'd probably start taking it again as soon as the test is over. If nothing else, if you go back on it and feel better, it will give you more data to bring to the doc if they come back from the test and try to tell you that you don't need to be on Met.addingtothepackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11268274491763702943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8850092086005864991.post-55094311697666317862010-01-02T17:59:07.630-05:002010-01-02T17:59:07.630-05:00For me, being on Met truly sucked - and was so bad...For me, being on Met truly sucked - and was so bad after my 2nd loss that I was taken off it. And I too had the worst cravings for all things carb-y and sweet as soon as I stopped taking it. But the cravings (and mood swings) dissipated after a while - maybe 2-3 weeks? <br /><br />I hope that you start to feel better soon.<br /><br />Hugs.Illanarehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05203774916178621215noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8850092086005864991.post-63514836440749932872010-01-02T11:38:12.306-05:002010-01-02T11:38:12.306-05:00I'm sorry you are feeling so off balance and l...I'm sorry you are feeling so off balance and lost.

I about freaked... I have never felt this normal (insulin-wise and cycle-wise) in my life and I fully plan on being on Met until I die. Without it I am a mess!<br /><br />So yeah - I'd go on it until the doctor tells you otherwise.Carriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13721581459131697651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8850092086005864991.post-9884890020183938832009-12-31T11:20:23.164-05:002009-12-31T11:20:23.164-05:00Boo to no Metformin.

That's my problem too. :( I'm hoping that you're feeling better soon and back to your old self.Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08507118457609696378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8850092086005864991.post-7847397073456446612009-12-31T07:40:03.675-05:002009-12-31T07:40:03.675-05:00I just left a comment & I don't think it p...I just left a comment & I don't think it posted..but if this is duplicate, sorry!<br /><br />I too have been off Met for a couple months now & I had no idea how it had "changed" my life, so I totally can relate to how you feel. It's funny how you get used to it & forget what your life was like before...then you go off & WHAM!<br /><br />I have no idea if & when I will be going back on it...so on a positive note, you know you & Met will meet back up again soon, so that gives you something to look forward to!<br /><br />Hope your test go well & you & Met get back together soon :)PCOSChickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06758402331951286692noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8850092086005864991.post-52136597592230967262009-12-31T00:35:49.225-05:002009-12-31T00:35:49.225-05:00I just went off Met (1500 mg xr) because the new R...I just went off Met (1500 mg xr) because the new Re "doesn't believe in it". I'm unsure who to believe and have an appointment in Jan. to see Re#3. Until then, I took myself off B/C too. <br />I am crazy, stressed, flying off the handle but.. I'm a Taurus and dealing with IF..so that's pretty much my normal. Except this is def. at least 50% worse.<br />My hub is a Libra and if he started to act like me..we'd be in trouble. <br />Go with your gut..going on it can't hurt right?Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14827590692827778824noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8850092086005864991.post-79022524574250033602009-12-30T23:46:24.957-05:002009-12-30T23:46:24.957-05:00I've never had to go on or off metformin but I...I've never had to go on or off metformin but I know enough about medicine to say that it really does sound like you are reacting to being off the metformin.

I wish I knew something about Metformin, but alas I don't...your instinct to go back on it sounds good - is there someone you can confirm it with after your test, like the PCOS Specialist? Are you able to talk to them and tell them what's going on? In the meantime, be gentle and take good care of yourself - do whatever it takes to make yourself as comfortable as possible.<br />Thinking of you.<br />Love,<br />MaddyMad Hatterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08262994711680542891noreply@blogger.com
