Slightly tangential to How do I even know if my but VanRx_Mike reminded me — does anyone have experience combining this with metformin?

I know it is not exactly on-topic but it seems related enough to ask here rather than starting a new thread. Apologies if this has been covered — I did search first.

Thanks for sharing this, VanRx_Mike. A few questions about your How do I even know experience:

  1. What dose did you start at?
  2. How long before you noticed side effects improving?
  3. Did your provider have any specific recommendations about How do I even?

I am in a similar boat and trying to learn from others' experiences before my next appointment.
