My Mood:  Points: 1,467.43 Bank: 0.00 Total Points: 1,467.43 |  Can't handle MET, what else is there?
I'm up to 2000 mg of Met and I just CANNOT do it! My stomach turns just at the thought of taking those pills. I feel like CRAP whenever I take them and it lasts all day. If I take the pills at night, I can't sleep because I feel like CRAP. I'm extremely frustrated. My dr said we could do glumetza, but it's no longer on my insurance drug list. What else is there? I'm IR and I take Yasmin. I'm very frustrated!!

If you are also diabetic, ask about Janumet. It's a combination of Januvia and Metformin and you do not feel sick from it like just Metformin. It also has caused me to lose about 40 pounds without really trying.
