Has anyone had success on metformin

For weight loss? I want to ask my dr but want to see if it is worth it.

I’m seeing my Dr. next week to get some phentermine. Maybe I should get metformin instead. I need something. I’m fat beyond belief and I can’t stop eating.

I asked mine for it. He told me to eat less and move more. Frustrating.

I take it now for diabetes. I took it for a short while about 10 years ago for weight loss but it didn’t help me lose weight. I don’t know if it’s helping me now, because I’m only eating a restricted calorie diet and I’m losing weight anyway.

If you don’t have prediabetes or diabetes then I wouldn’t bother taking Metformin.

Usually the weight loss on Metformin is short lived.

I’ve been on phentermine. Your body gets used to it fast. I stopped seeing much of a difference after a week. It is dangerous because you can be tempted to take more.

Really for weight loss the secret is to cut calories and to exercise, there is no magic pill that will make you really loose weight.

Phentermine can cause an irregular heart beat, and also psychosis. Be careful!
