Hi,
i take Metformin against weight gain and its pretty effective. However: I need to maintain blood sugar very stable (ie: eat regularly) otherwise i will get anxiety. The second however: You need healthy kidneys and liver and you need to confirm that they are healthy every couple of weeks. It does not work for everyone but if it works, its pretty awesome. Many people i spoke to have lost considerable weight on Metformin.
When i was on Nardil, i could cope though. I was not technically overweight. Just well nourished. I have much more weight gain because of the Antipsychotics, however now i have the Metformin antidote.
> I'm nervous about the weight gain and side effects. Is there anyone here who hasn't experienced weight gain (or managed to lose the weight), and what advice to do you have to help mitigate or cope with side effects? Thanks to anyone who takes the time to read this and responds!
