This forum's not really for drugs, so you probably won't get much advice here. This forum is more for natural cures.

I don't understand. Why are you taking glucophage? Weight loss is not one of it's primary benefits. Plus it has a whole lot of side effects. I can't understand why you would take it at all if you're not diabetic.

As others have said, glocophage is a drug and therefore outside the scope of this forum and is also primarily for diabetes. However it also helps non-diabetics to lose weight by reducing hunger, that's why it gets mentioned a lot for weight loss. It works because it reduces sugar release from your liver to prevents blood sugar levels from rising too high, so your body doesn't need to produce as much insulin that makes you hungry and causes your liver to make fat. A common cause of obesity in women is PCOS (polycystic ovary syndrome), which is caused by having high blood levels of insulin. Glucophage can help these women to lose weight.
