From someone who used to take metformin, i think some of your mood swings might be caused by a drop in your blood sugar levels. With me and being on metformin, if i skipped a meal of was really late having one and had taken my tablets, i could feel my blood sugar dropping which made me very cranky and i couldnt concentrate on what i was doing. So while on metformin i would say missing meals isnt a very good idea. Also i read on another post that you are trying for a baby, i understand that for people like me and you with pcos, ttc can be a very stressful time, and although it might not seem like it if its niggling in the back of your mind it can stress you out even more, so like the last poster said take some you time out on an evening to destress yourself and concetrate on you. From taking metformin i dont think my mood swings got any worse than before when they were caused by the pcos. But if you think that they are going to affect you and your relationship then i would definitely go back to your gp and discuss other options.

Good Luck and hopefully i ll hear from you soon in this forum
