Article on maintenance - drugs e.g. metformin

[Orangesandlemons77]

I thought this was interesting, on maintenence and possible help from other meds e.g. metformin.

Before going on MJ my GP started me on metformin to see if it might help a little with weight loss (I'm not diabetic but on meds which can cause metabolic side effects) it didn't help much however and she took me off it when I started MJ.

I'm now wondering a year on if this could be an option for maintenance. Just wondered if others might find this useful too.

Metformin made me sweat from every pore, I didn't even realise that was possible. Horrible drug for me, I'm never taking it again.

I tried metformin off label for something else and it made no impact on my appetite or weight so no, I'll stick to Mounjaro I think!
