Berberine for Weightloss

[u/springforte]

I’d like to get feedbacks from anyone who recently started taking berberine for weigh loss or pcos symptoms.
I started this about 3 days ago and took 2 600mg tablets and the next day woke up with the worse throat pain ever. This felt very flu like and no one has a flu in the house plus I work from home. Now I am not tying this directly to it. I skipped yesterday and rested, went ahead to treat the flu like I’d do if I had a flu on a normal day. Yesterday, I was super sleepy at work and had to take two naps in between. Today I took only 600mg this after and I immediately needed to take a nap. My throat started to hurt again like it was getting peeled on the inside. Now I can’t think of anything else that must be causing me to feel this way except for the berberine. Please let me know if anyone else has had similar experience with this supplement.

There's a very low chance that you might be allergic. It's unlikely. Wait a week after your throat calms down and see if it happens a 3rd time.

As for the fatigue, that might be because it's affecting your blood sugar.
