Will going up from Metformin 500mg to 1000mg reduce appetite?

What has been your experience? I've read that it increases more the stomach glp?

  1. Another great question! I asked my brother, who has been on Metformin for a few years. He said he noticed a decrease in appetite at 1,000 mg. I hope others chime in here. Maybe the increase will help you on your weight loss journey. - Lori (Team Member)

  2. Thank you! Its been less than a week on the 1000 mg so I suspect the appetite suppression, if it happens will take months. On 500 mg I was still hungry 😆

    1. Thanks for taking the time to follow up. Please let us know how you are making out after a month or so! Wishing you all the best, Lauren (team member)
