I started the Metformin today and it has not been all too bad so far. My Dr suggested that I start with just 1/3 of the full dose he prescribed and build up to the full dose over the next three weeks. (He prescribed 1500mg, three 500mg pills per day.) So I took one 500mg pill this morning after breakfast (one whole wheat pancake, one scrambled egg).
So far, I have been incredibly thirsty. Super thirsty, and I have been craving water like I have been on a desert island for weeks. It is weird. Another weird thing that has happened is a few hours after I ate breakfast, I got super hungry again. Like, I need to eat right now kind of hungry. So I munched on a handful of almonds and felt all better.
I need to start eating small meals about every 3 hours so this seems to be working out pretty good. I have been reading about all these horrible side effects other women have had on Metformin so I have been preparing for the worst. I know it is only the first day so we will see what happens.
