Has Anyone Used Metformin For Weight Loss?

If yes please share you experience with me. I started today and am a little nervous about taking it. I have read articles that it depletes B12 or can cause Lactic Acidosis in severe situations and potentially hairloss (due to the B12) - I am over reading articles as it is only confusing me so some real life experiences would be great - thank you!!

Hi, I have heard some great success stories for others in losing weight and managing hormones. Personally, it did nothing but make me gain more weight even faster than before taking it, and I have heard others with the same stories. It really depends on each person (I know im tired of hearing that too lol) but it’s definitely worth a try to know if it would be beneficial for you or not! Wishing you the best of luck!✨
