Metformin
Hi all, I'm very new here. I've noticed a few people mentioned not liking metformin which is what my 14 year old daughter is currently on. She was diagnosed about 6 months ago. I'm curious to hear what you did not like about it, what side effects you've had, etc. Her #'s are improving but there are other things going on that I wonder if are side effects or something else and the dr dismissed that idea - though I don't feel the dr's truly know enough about PCOS.

A natural form of metformin is berberine, i believe that natural always beats un natural, never tried it myself as its not what i need i am taking inistol, hope this can help xx

I appreciate you're feedback. Thank. I'm going to speak to her dr again.

Thank you! I will look into that
