I haven't ever had the symptoms quite as bad as you have; but, I've been close. I've been taking Metformin for about 18 months now, and I was very sick like that at the beginning. Now I only feel like that if I have forgotten to take it the day before. As long as I take it every day I don't really have many problems. I take my Spiro (50mg) at the same time as the Metformin (1000mg).

What I've found that helps is to eat something when that happens. Even though I feel nauseous, if I eat it seems to help.

Maybe talk with your doctor about taking a smaller dose and then gradually working up to where you should be and take your meds every day! They won't be nearly as effective if you just hit and miss.

Good luck!
