I took metformin before but my stomach couldn't handle the irritability. Well I found this group on fitnesspal and I saw how many women are achieving their goals by begin able to communicate with others with the same issue.
The question I have is I have been put back on metformin 1500mg extended relief. It hasn't caused me any stomach issues, thank goodness, but I have not gotten acne like bad. I have always had acne issues on my face but now it is going down my neck and onto my chest. Has anyone else had issues with acne after they started metformin?

I hope that everything works out for you. I didn't have any acne problems with Metformin I had slight Acne Problems before Metformin but after going on Metformin the acne went away. (I wish my facial hair would do the same) Give it a litte time maybe your body needs some time to adjust.0

Ask your endo Doc about Spironolactone. I combination with the Metformin it can help with acne and other problems.0
