Metformin

Just starting taking Metformin 2 days ago with hopes that my appetite will decrease. Unfortunatly it hasn't done a damn thing so I'm wondering what would be an afective dosage. Currently I'm taking 1000mg before a meal with carbs.

I'm cutting right now and could really use a good appetite suppresent. I was thinking of trying to get a script for Adderol but after reading all the possible side-affects I'm a bit turned off, also I doubt my doc would give me a script :)
 
Bromocriptine was very potent as an apetitie suppressor for me!
The initial headaches for me subsided after about 5 days of use.

AdderralHere's my spin on Adderral: I have never personally tried it but I said something similar to what you say "about the bad sides" and 2 bro's responded and said the proclaimed sides were over-rated! They didn't experience much (in terms of side effects). They both LOVED the adderral. I dd recall coments regarding to mild/ moderate sleeping difficulties as a side, but that was about it!

Be sure to do your homeork before obtaining this one bro!

Acarbose/Metformin/Glucobay
"These prevent sugar spikes at the end of a meal and also helps stabilize sugar levels throughout the day. This has important implications for aging, as it can help control energy and mood levels that are directly linked to sugar levels. Furthermore, because one is more likely to feel sated, Glucobay® can act as a powerful appetite suppressant and therefore aids in a diet. Dr. Dean is now recommending the use of Metformin and Glucobay® (acarbose) for virtually all his patients over the age of 45.

Glucobay®/Acarbose/Metformine doses for appetite suppression are 1 tablet (50mg each) once, twice or three times daily. The tablets should be chewed and swallowed prior to a meal or with the first mouthful of food.

Side effects of flatulence, diarrhea, and abdominal pain have been noted in rare cases with initial use. If this occurs reduce (or stop) the dosage and gradually increase and these problems should disappear."

Thanks for replying bro.


Bromocripton - I have used it to combat fina gyno and didn't notice any appetite decreasing side affects.

Adderal - I have done Dnp yet for some reason this stuff still scares me :)

Aracbose (Glucobay) - Are you saying this stuff is exactly the same as Metformin or does one decrease appetite more then the other?

Meridia - Tryed it, didn't do a damn thing.

ECA - This is probably the only pill I have ever taken that I have noticed a decrease in appetite.

NYC - Never tryed it but I have some for my upcomming cycle so we'll see how it goes. Still need something to use while on clen though :)
 
Do some reading.....THEN, try the adderral. JUst start out slowly and gradually increase the doses.

I'm going to try to find the bro who loved it and shoot him a PM for more info......not sure if I can remember, but I will try!
 
Bro, watch out on the adderall, I started taking it for the very reason you did, it does supress you appetite, but it wears off, then you have to continue taking it, just for energy. I weaned myself off two weeks ago, had withdrawls for two days, IMO, stay away. Remeber, regardless if it is an actual pharmecuetical preperation, its still an amphetamine.
 
Thanks for the warning bro. Getting addicted is one of my main concerns, although I was prescribed Ritalin when I was younger and had no problems comming off so we'll see :)

A word on Adderall. A DEA Schedule II substance (HIGH potential for abuse and addiction)
Guys, this is pure amphetamine; actually, a mixture of 4 amphetamines (2 dextro, and two plain).
We called it speed in the 60's and 70's. I saw many good people get seriously strung out on it. It is euphoric, gives you tons of energy, nixes the appetite, lets you go w/out sleep.
The crash is equally extreme. Depression, neurotransmitter depletion, hypersomnia, craving for the drug, etc.
Amphetamines had been just about phased out of the pharmacopia due to abuse and addiction; however, w/ the rise of ADD and ADHD as fashionable diagnoses, the pharm companies saw a chance to take market share back from Ritalin (also a II), and several amphetamines (Adderall, Dexedrine, in both immediate realese and extended release forms) are now being marketed and widely prescribed). We are seeing a resurgence in addiction; very similar to methamphetamine (add a methyl group).
Be very carerful about this stuff; it is NOT benign.
As for Dr VJ's bros that "LOVED" the Adderall: that's a bad sign right there; most people love heroin from the get-go as well. I don't think I'm being overly dramatic based on what I've seen. I'm boarded in Addiction Medicine.
Adderall is not Schedule II for no reason; this was a rational action, unlike the Scheduling of AAS.

bump this. Also, it may cut appetite, but the lack of sleep will also slow down your metabolism too, it took me about 2 weeks to be able to sleep before 3am.
