Metformin and Depression

[Liz]

Sorry Summer, I don't know. I didn't have any side effects at all really with Metformin. I don't recall it being listed as a side effect. It's a common med for diabetics, so I don't think so. I know it can cause malaise, or lethargy, which could feel a bit depressing I guess.

I hope you feel better soon *hugs*

Summer,

I have read somewhere on the internet that Metformin can help with depression (when it is caused primarily by hormonal imbalance). Perhaps what you are experiencing is a result of infertility?? I know I often struggle with life as a result of infertility and everything that goes along with that. I have often had periods (as in stages) when I have felt a lot worse than others. Are you, or have you thought about seeing an infertility counsellor?

Hope this helps,
Hugs,
Michelle
