> Just started back up 2 nights ago. I haven't been on it for a few years. Put on 20 pounds the last time. My psychiatrist said the best thing is to start the metformin straight away to combat upcoming weight gain. Appetite is starting to fire up that is why I am getting worried. Ed have you tried Minocycline? Going to ask my psychiatrist about it.
Yes, it probably would be best to start metformin straight away given your previous experience. If you are over 65 (approx), your doctor should take a blood test for kidney function before you start. Other routine bloods can be done at the same time. If you are young with no medical problems the blood test may not be necessary.
I took minocycline many years ago for acne. Took it for over a year. I didn't notice any changes in my mental health though.
