I think the metformin is doing the job of at least keeping my weight stable for now. Haven't gained anything since I started Nardil 7 weeks ago (60mg for 6 & now 75 for a few days). Tmi but I'm going a lot which is really refreshing after years of constipation with Marplan+Lamictal/Etc.
But wow has this been a very bumpy ride. One day I'm great waking up early ready to go to the gym, get breakfast, get to work on the computer then the next (like today) I'm dragging and wanting to head to bed very early to just end the day.
My doctor oked me to go up to 75 3days ago prior to our meeting middle of next week (5days). So far it either hasn't helped or has led to a downturn. I doubt it's hurt per say but my mood has dipped again and I'm back to wondering when it'll "kick in". It's so odd to be great one day and down the next (or a few hrs later). I know it takes time at each dose to get the effects I'm just hoping it starts to be more consistent soon.
Mid-day fatigue seems to be the biggest side effect affecting me. Today it was enough to force me to go take nap. I know that'll prob stick around for a bit but I wasn't really in to anything before the fatigue set in so maybe its partially a result of being down.
I'm pretty sure anorgasmia is in full effect. Haven't even bothered to confirm but that started a day or twl before I went up to 75 (6 weeks or so at 60). Carb cravings/sweets are pretty much gone but that could definitely be metformins magic. I suppose that coidk be messing w my moods too - hard to say since so few people here seem to have trialed it.
I expect to feel better in a day or two but hopefully the next time it'll be because 75 is taking hold. Hopefully it'll be the "sweet spot" that Has been suggested...
