i'm on metformin now - the dosage they aim for on standard metformin is 1500-1700mg per day - when i got up to the max dose i ended up extremely unwell with upset stomach. not a lot of other side effects once i was used to each step up - but it wasn't always pleasant (nausea, upset tum - i learned to hate the loo!!). because of the severity of my reaction to it, my FS swapped me to an "extended release" form of the same drug - it has a delayed release action. i'm still taking a similar dosage, but it's much more gentle...

as for clomid - i'd have to go look it all up - i remember nasty cramps, shocking hot flushes, nausea - but moreso when i was on higher doses - unfortunately i didn't respond at all so i have been through a lot since then - has clouded the memory on what i went through with the clomid!
