When I went on Metformin it decreased my appetite. My physician even told me it might help me to lose weight. So I'm a little stumped that you are having an increase. I'll be anxious to see what the others post.

Metformin decreased my appetite and and I lost 30 pounds. I have more to lose but seem to be stuck for now

Metformin did not increase nor decrease my appetite. I also did NOT lose weight on it as I was hoping to.

We I was put on metformin in 2000 it decreased my appette for sweets. Before the medications I came home from work starved and sweets look the carvings away. After medformin I lost 55 lbs and am no longer hungry. I to eat 6 small meals a day and I think that helps not being hungry and also keeps my sugar in check.

When I initially got on metformin, I lost a lot of weight and that is what my provider said that would happen. I was also watching what I was eating and was exercising. But after a year, I went back to my old high carbs eating habits and lost interest in exercising. Now I am back to where I am back up to 210 lbs and still on metformin.

I've been on Medformin and my appetite is no different from before I went on it. But I'm on Gliberide too, so that's why my appetite is the same. I inially lost some weight but I've since gained it back I think. I don't like getting weighed, don't have a scale because it leads to big problems for me.

I mean Metformin and Glyburide.

not right on message but i was given lyrica for neurapathy & it gives the hungry horrors

metformin is suppose to help you loose weight. I lost 13 lbs in a very short time. The other diabetic meds cause weight gain

Well, I must be different! I gained when I was placed on Metformin. I stayed hungry untill the doctor put me on Byetta. I have lost 40 LBS on Byetta and Metformin.
