Hi everyone....
Sorry spunky, I am not on that kind of dose, but it is one of the higher ones I have seen so far, so I am not sure what your question really is =/....as for Dee01832, the first few days up to a week I had REALLY bad stomach upset with metformin, but it will wear off when you get used to it. My reccomendation for the stomach upset is to eat a good, balanced meal when it is time to take metformin (a simple salad won't cut it, it made stomach upset worse for me). The first couple of days also i was EXHAUSTED (partially because I was in the bathroom half the time, urgh) but that wore off too---if you are still tired, MAKE SURE you tell your doc just to double check. Also, if your stomach is still churning after a few days, tell your doc about it; they might recommend a slower release (I take fortamet, which is a slow release version of metformin, it works WONDERS for me).
Good luck and let me know how it goes!
