I’m new to Metformin. What are some of the problems you had while on it?
Upset stomach and Lactic acidosis.
I was taking Jamumet which is a combination of Metormin and another drug to increase the amount of insulin.
When I first started taking it I started to develop symptoms of Lactic acidosis, so I stopped for a week and cut my dosage in half until I could tolerate it better
I believe Lactic acidosis is under reported and it can be a very dangerous condition if you aren't aware of the symptoms
Look it up if you are on any form of Metformin
I haven’t had any side effects that I know of, but it and the other medication I take are no longer working as well as they did so they’ve reduced the medications and added an insulin shot at night.
Constant diarrhea mostly, for years. On Avandia, the muscle aches and weakness were severe. Junovia caused awful itching. So far, glyburide is the only thing that seems to have no bad reactions.
