My GP prescribed Metformin after I stopped taking Seroquel, which I had gained so much weight from. (That AP hunger is so, so difficult to live with, as we all know.) Many people lose a decent amount of weight on Metformin. I lost 7 lbs. Not much. I haven't had any side effects that I'm aware of, though. My sister's doctor prescribed Metformin for her only because her glucose was a tiny bit high (she's 5'11" and a nice weight). She was 70 at the time. She swore it caused some of her hair to fall out, so she stopped taking it. But she's very skeptical about big pharma.
