Lauralynn,
You are right! I did talk to my doctor about this and she has no problem with it.. If I can, I may get a second opinion. But I have discovered that advice from others (along with a doctor's advice) can give me a better overview of side effects, how other doctors around the country may feel, and how other people may have handled things in a similar situation.
I know that on-line advice is to be taken with a grain of salt.. and should not be substituted for a doctor's advice, but I would love to listen to other people's experiences on Metformin, particularly if they are breastfeeding and/or pregnant! I do not take drugs lightly!
I also don't believe that doctor's are God, or that they always know everything about a drug (or may be willing to take chances that I am not even told about). Look at it this way.. I have had 3 doctor's tell me I will drop dead of a heart attack from this diet!
Sorry about the rant.. nothing personal, but I have found that many doctors rarely disclose all side effect or problems that may arise while taking a drug. I usually find out about them through asking others on the internet and reading the inserts.
