Glucophage experiences

[ohashi]

I'm interested in hearing/reading any first-hand Glucophage (Metforin) experiences. I know how it works, and am well informed of the toxicity and other side effects; nor do I have any interest in using it; however, it's even less talked-about than insulin/DNP use, and I am quite interested in knowing how it affected bodybuilders of our circle.

I'm assuming some mild body recomposition effect with headaches and overall lowering of the sense of well-being as a common experience, but would love to hear more details.

I am getting ready to add this to my GH run as well as low does T3......I also would love to hear real time feedback. I am a bit concerned in that I see it said above it reduces sense of well being.....thats doesnt sound like a good thing lol

You're touching one controversial issue. I've seen all the data, read dozens of studies, I would elaborate but I'm tried...hehe... I personally wouldn't use it as I'm not all too convinced it might actually be quite counter-productive.

I'm not interested in using it; just looking for experiences.

Taking it is pretty pointless unless one is diabetic. The only thing it does is slow and limit the absorbtion of carbohydrates, but it does not change the sensitivity of tissues to insulin. Avandia and Actos do increase insulin sensitivity, but they have weight gain and edema side effects.

Glucophage has the added bonus of causing lethargy and lowering testosterone levels.

Did you ever use it? All I'm looking for are the experiences.

Yeah. I used for a pretty good amount of time actually, and it does help prevent fat gain.

But it made my libido disappear and gave me bad gastrointestinal sides.

Ok you found me as your experience. Here is goes! The first time I started to use glucophage with my Gh ( BTW gh is part of my HRT along with test ) I was taking too high of a dosage at once. I would take like 500mgs all at once with a carb meal. The hell I went through after that sucked! Farting, bloating of the stomack, the runs. Just not a good experience. But they say if you wait a couple of weeks the body will get used to it. Bullshit! After 3 weeks I was still farting and shitting. I then decided to give a try about 6 weeks ago. But this time I only took 250mgs per day for about a week. All was went better this time. I didn't get gas or the runs. But I did start to notice a little bloat around the gut. At week 2 I increased the dose to 500mgs divided into two doses. At this point I only got very minor gas and very minor runs. Still nothing to complain about. But I noticed more bloat around the gut. At week 3 I decided to stay at 500mgs per day. I did not increase it. At this point I was now starting to feel like I didn't want to do anything! I didn't want to go the gym, I didn't want to go to work and I didn't want to get out of bed. Not sleepy...just fucking lazy. I even missed out on work for like a week. IMO...the drugs sucks! I tried it twice and both times it failed me. I didn't get harder, instead I got fatter and bloated around the midsection. I got lazy and depressed. Like I said, IMO...leave it alone. Not worth it.
