Slightly tangential to Has anyone dealt with are but mel_PDX 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, mel_PDX. A few questions about your Has anyone dealt experience:
- What dose did you start at?
- How long before you noticed side effects improving?
- Did your provider have any specific recommendations about Has anyone deal?
I am in a similar boat and trying to learn from others' experiences before my next appointment.
OP here — wow, did not expect this much response! Thank you all for the thoughtful replies on Has anyone dealt with are.
To answer sophie_paris: I started tracking everything in a spreadsheet from day 1.
