i was wondering if any of you out there have been perscribed a regular met dosage of more than the average 1500mg per day (not refering the met xr) I have always had an extremely high tollerance to any thing i have been perscribed from antibiotics to pain meds - and now after being on 1500mg of met for 6 months now w/ no response to it my doctor has suggested upping my dose to 20oo-2500mg - after researching it there is some hesitation on my end due to the possible long term side affects. I have tried the XR met and my body did not like it at all so my doc put me back on the norm. met.

i just started 2000mg a day and havent had any issues with it so far. I have been on it for a week tho...so maybe its gonna come later...

I was on 1000mg for a couple of months and it didnt do anything, so my dr upped the dosage...

1500 and 2000 seem to be the normal dosages. I've never heard of upping it to 2500, though...

Good luck!
