I am wondering the same thing. The nausea is not good. I can only handle 500mg when I am supposed to be on 1500mg. If you figure it out, let me know

Have you guys looked into the controlled release metformin? I've heard it can work wonders for those who can't tolerate the side effects.

I've also heard of another medication that works like metformin but doesn't cause stomach pain. I can't remember the name, honestly, but I know there are options...maybe your endo or GP would know of some alternatives?? Hope this helped somewhat!

The other alternative is a heart medication that is really expensive. I have amazing insurance and they wont even pay for it. The pharmacist told me as well as my doctor that that is the only other option. I hate the metformin
