> Thats not good and possibly could have been prevented with metformin. People on AAPs and/or Remeron keep telling me that they dont want to take so many pills.. But i argue that obesity is much worse than the side effects of Metformin. Personally, i have none.Hi, I wish I knew about Metformin. Fortunately, I am no longer on Remeron. What I mean by permanently destroyed my body is that I currently weigh 155 lbs, but I look like I weigh 190 lbs. Instead of losing 60 lbs of fat, I ended up losing about 40 lbs of muscle and 20 lbs of fat. The absolute most I can lose without being unhealthy for a 6 foot tall male is 15 lbs. However, if I lose those 15 lbs I will only be able to eat 1900 calories a day to maintain my weight which is nearly impossible to do long-term for a 6 foot tall male. I will never look the way I once did. I'm only 32 and my face and body are already completely ruined
