Slightly tangential to Swiss Chems pricing is but DataDave reminded me — does anyone have experience combining this with metformin?
I know it is not exactly on-topic but it seems related enough to ask here rather than starting a new thread. Apologies if this has been covered — I did search first.

Thanks for sharing this, DataDave. A few questions about your Swiss Chems pricing experience:
- What dose did you start at?
- How long before you noticed side effects improving?
- Did your provider have any specific recommendations about Swiss Chems?
I am in a similar boat and trying to learn from others' experiences before my next appointment.

To answer PharmD_Rodriguez: I started tracking everything in a spreadsheet from day 1.
