I've been taking Metformin for polycystic ovaries for 2 months and feel absolutely awful most of the time, tired, upset stomach, nausea etc.. Has anyone else found it unbearable? Am trying to decide whether to go back to the docs or just try and cope with it!

I took Metformin 500 mg twice a day for my diabetes and I had the exact same side effects. I was on it for about a month before the side effects started to go away. I would mention it to your dr. and see what he suggests. Maybe a lower dosage would help.

I take metformin for PCOS and for the first few months I had diarrhea every time I ate anything. I no longer have any problems with it. I started taking it in may. I would try to continue taking it if at all possible. I have started ovulating again and am noticing all kinds of symptoms go away.

I take metformin for PCOS too. In the beginning it was pretty awful. I constantly felt sick and had heart burn. It took a couple of months but it eventually settled down and I don't get any side affects now. It's just your body adjusting.
