A member asked:
How long does it take for metformin 1000 mg to start working for weight loss due to pcos? also, will metformin help with depression and mood swings?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Metformin: Metformin controls blood sugar not weight loss. Metformin will not help with depression and mood swings. Please see: 1: Diabetes educator -- your doctor will organize that for you. 2: Psychologist -- clearly needed for your depression and mood swings. Wish you well!
