In Reply to: Glucophage from Scouvara? posted by ROIDS on January 22, 1997 at 09:56:12:
: I recently got my order from Scouvara for some Glucophage, T-3, and Retin-A.
: The order came in 4 weeks. Even though it wasnt steroids and it was a small
: order, I got a little worried from some posts. The mailman didnt even knock
: he just left if outside my apartment door. It was open by customs.
: My question is how long should I use the Glucophage. I heard of phenformin
: causing lactic acidosis but not metformin. Can it cause insulin resistance.
: Any info is appreciated.
I got some metformin from Eurocare (Netherlands) into the UK. I think you
have to expect that mail order drug packages are likely to be opened.
As for effects: I took 1500mg a day for twelve weeks and didn't really see
much benefit. Maybe this is not long enough/high enough. I don't know.
I too was worried about fucking up my insulin resistance in the long run if
I stayed with it too long. How realistic is this fear ?
