Met is now my friend?

As most, Met doesn't like me. It wrecks havoc on my stomach, leaves me nauseous and running to the bathroom way to often. I am on 1500mg daily, in which I take all 3 at bedtime. I have to confess, since our last attempt in August, I kind of went off. I've tried since but couldn't steer my way through the yucky symptoms. I'm happy to report since Monday, I started taking 2 and all week - symptom free. Glorious! Taking it with lean protein has been the key! I will increase back to 3 this Monday. I've been reading alot that Met has helped with weight loss. I've not seen this at all...perhaps because I take the XR at night? I might call the RE on Monday and ask...I'd really like to loose!
