Has anyone been on Metformin XR?


I was put on Metformin XR 3 times a day, because I have metabolic syndrome... I am overweight, and I was told its because I have insulin resistance, I also have a really bad thyroid, that is being treated. I was wondering if anyone actually lost weight while on metformin, and what were your side effects, I heard it had some really bad side effects. Also my dr told me not to exercise while on it.. i never heard a dr saying not to exercise????

here are some links where you can look up drugs and side effects...
