Does anyone take Metformin along with their meds?
My regular doc says I am pre-diabetic (he says thats like being a little pregnant though!).
He feels that I should take Metformin, especially since I now take Lithium and Seroquel. Plus, I am about 40 - 50 lbs overweight.
Does Metformin help with weight loss?
I guess it couldn't hurt.

There is quite a bit of interest in using metformin to combat antipsychotic-induced weight-gain. It seems to work.
