Depression from Met?

Have you heard of anyone getting depressed from Metformin?

I suddenly realized that depression is on me. I am having a hard time keeping up with the small things in life, like diong the dishes. I don't have a hard schedule right now. I've been on met x2+ mos.

I felt a lot better after I went on Metformin. Perhaps you should treat the depression as a separate issue.

Perhaps....

But it's really become a bigger issue since taking Met. Could be just a coincidence but thought I'd check to see if there were similar reactions.

Ama,
When I started met a couple of months ago I had all the energy in the world now even doing the dishes is the biggest chore in the world. I don't think it's depression I am battling but rather lack of energy. I am currently ttc so I am not sure if it's all the hormones that are making me so lethargic. Just wanted to let you know that I am taking met and "having a hard time keeping up with the small things in life"
