Met not working--help!

[jlmcc]

I started taking Met last month and my s/es were pretty typical until about a week ago. Since I wasn't losing enough weight on 1500 mg of Met (only lost 4 pounds), I cut back on what I ate and my blood sugar dropped too low and I almost passed out.

So, I dropped the dosage of Met, upped my protein intake and watched the few pounds I lost come back. After a few days I began to increase the Met again, went through all the terrible side effects and now my main s/e is constipation and I still not losing weight since I have to eat to not be nauseous or have low blood sugar.

My doctor says I might not lose weight on it--is that possible? I don't want to quit Met without giving it a good try but I really am struggling with this and getting so frustrated. I eat low carb diet since I am IR with the PCOS.

Any advice?

A woman that I know that has PCOS and concieved told me to just keep taking the Met because it will work eventually, but it takes time. I started in Jan., and she just keeps telling me to hang in there and that Met is what did it for her. You may just need a little more time on it.
