yes, Im glad you saw that. I mean I didnt just try metformin because this or that. Ive tried almost every drug there is. Ive tried every class of drug (no maois/remeron/typical APS), every supplement, synthroid, doxycycline, tetracycline, lithium orotate, blah blah blah.
No exageration, i am very treatment resistant. But as this time went on trying all these meds and supplements, I noticed i was having reactions to them like hypoglycemia and hyperglycemia. It never hit me until more examples kept happening.
I drank coffee for a few weeks, no meds, and gained 20 pounds. I didnt understand at all. I honestly didnt. Then I figured out that it messed with my blood sugars, i was eating every hour, big meals, I mean I felt starved all the time.
Then finally as the med train has ended, I put 2 in 2 together and it finally made sense. I got metformin and have been doing good for about a week or two now. (and im garenteed it wont end, Im hitting what is causing most of my symtoms)
Im pretty sure I have insulin resistance, although no tests, partly because they cost alot and I show so many symptoms anyway.
I was obese as a child and throughout most of my teen years. And I never meant to eat alot, but i was always hungry. I was self medicating with food really. And that leads to obesity.
So anyway, Im glad I finally have found a good treamtnet for myself. I feel way more normal in every aspect. Although Ive always been a Bipolar/grandiose person. So I might have to get that treated if I get too crazy.
But the depression is gone. Gone gone gone. no more tears for me, no more laying on the floor of my house thinking of dying and suicide. No none for me, thank god.
