Guest guest Posted April 18, 2005 Report Share Posted April 18, 2005 Has anyone tried both of these drugs? I was on avandia when first diagnosed, 4 mg, then upped to 8 mg about 4 months later. Over the course of the year I was on it, I gained 50 lbs and started having swelling/edema in my ankles and feet and sometimes a little in my hands. I went off it completely in November 04, but the edema and weight have stayed, so it appears that neither is related to the avandia. I'm one of those rare stories where I went from eating lots of pasta, bread every day, sometimes two times a day, potatoes, to low carb and still gained weight. What I'm wondering is whether anyone has tried both meds and noticed any differences - was there less weight gain with one or less swelling with the other? I'm tempted to go back on it to hep with my insulin resistance issues. Stacey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
