hello dear
thanks for your query at hcm.
metformin your using is already is higher dose, if symptoms are not improving it can be improved up to 2000 mg.
but there are side effects due to increased metformin dose.
My recommendation would be that you can visit your doctor and discuss about increase in dose or alternative medication
