Unhappy HELP!!!!! I need your advice....

Hello ladies,

I had visited my gyn yesterday and she had prescriped me Met (500mg, twice a day) after answering just few questions she had asked yesterday (I thought that my gyn would give me proper assessment but she didn't).

I had started taking it this morning, and few hours later, I got terrible side effects - feeling dizzy, funny tummy and some espiodes of diarrheoa (more often than I had before I got on Met).

That concerned me about how to cope with it as I work full time in busy office without having sickie days.

Could you PLEASE help me by giving me good tips to reduce the side effects......................?

Thanking you in advance, Angela

If you go to the top of the Metformin page, the second thread from the top is tips for dealing with side effects.

post your tips on dealing with gluc/met side effects

Hope it helps! Christy

Thanks for posting with the attachment.

I have read that message but I felt that it is too lengthy to read. I wanted to have a simple list of tips so I could print off and learn to cope with it with the help from the list of tips.

The problem is, everyone is different. It's trial and error to find out what works. Best thing to do is start reading, try a few and see where you're at. Good luck!
