Unhappy Glumetza Side Effects????

Hi Everybody!!!

It's been awhile since I have been on this website or taken any medicine to help my PCOS. The truth is it made me so sick and zombie feeling, that I found it easier to not take it at all.
( Glucophage) So I finally went and seen my doctor since in the last year and a half, I gained 23 pounds, He told me that I must be on something and gave me Glumetza. I started taking it last night. He directed me to take one 500 mg a night with my dinner for one week. After this week, I'm supposed to take two, and the week after three. For a total of 1500 mg. Since I took it last night I feel sick, and I have been in the bathroom every 3 to 4 hours. Is there something I can eat to help this, or do I need to just ride this out.

Also I'm taking phentermine to reduce my appetite...does anyone have any success with that??

I am sorry you are having issues with your new meds. Just hang in there it eventually will get better as your body gets used to it. I am on Metformin and blah when I do not eat right, then we went on vaca last week and low and behold I forgot my meds so I am starting over on taking it. I will do 500mg for 3 days then 1000 then up to 1500 again by the end of next week. I did have bathroom issues this morning cuz I ate like a pig last night (thanks to AF showing her ugly face).

I did take phentermine and lost 32 pounds while on it. Besure to eat while taking it and exercise that way it stays off when you stop taking it and you will lose more faster by exercising.

Good luck
