I got Inconsistent results from Metformin. Some days it would work, somedays it won’t. I think I may try it again, since im not taking prozac anymore. Prozac when combined with clozapine, was making me gain alot of weight.
Check the below link:
I’ve been on metformin 1000mg(500mg twice daily) for more than a week now for weight gain caused by my antipsychotic(clozapine). My main complaint was waking up middle of the night just to eat.
On metformin I’ve noticed fluctuating results - like I would not wake up at night for 2 days in a row, then on 3rd day I wake up at night and eat, then on 4th day I wont wake up night.
Some days metformin works and some days it doesn’t - its like my appetite is reduced on certain days and then its increased again the next day.
What should i do ? I know that metformin is working on some days but its not consistent. Should i increase my metformin dose or do something else ?

I was on 1500mg a day for a few years and didn’t lose one pound. The side effects were terrible as well.
