I've gained 147lbs on Seroquel (I started at 110lbs). Major metabolic syndrome.

I hope the Metformin is helpful for you, BethRags.

So far, I feel like my life has changed for the better! My appetite is normal for the first time in a decade. I feel better in general. I cannot understand why no doctor prescribed Metformin to me before I gained 147lbs. on Antipsychotics!

Beth, I am happy to read that Metformin seems to hold great promise for you. May it continue to serve you well with few or no side effects!

attentionThis is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.
