I can't take metformin. The side effects are horrible.

The therapeutic dosage for berberine is 500mg. It should be dosed before each meal.
I find 400mg 1-2x a day has fewer gastro effects for me.

I normally do 400mg 1x a day.
Do what works for you.

The stomach issues generally last for up to a couple of months. They might revisit when dosages are increased for another month.
