Default Side effects of Met XR

Hi everyone.

I have NO IDEA if this side effect is from Met, but I've always felt that it is.

I get extreme anxiety when I'm on it. It's in the pit of my stomach almost like an anxiety attack. My muscles get tight and I just don't feel good. Doesn't matter what I eat, it's still that uneasy feeling in my body.

I've tried Met a bunch of times over the past 6 yrs and it's always does the same thing to me. Actually, I was on BCP's a few years ago and the same thing was happening to me from those.

I'm on 500 mgs in the morning, and I stopped the 2nd dose of 500 mgs at night. So now I'm kinda okay.

Every Dr. I've been too says it's IMPOSSIBLE to get anxiety from it.

Aside from that, I was on 100mgs for 6 months and my insulin is still high,with NORMAL SUGAR, so what's the point.

Does anyone have any suggestions on any other medication to lower insulin?
I am totally getting more scared as the time passes.

Just added my 2 cents,
