I expected the stomach upset (I am naucious all the time) Anyone else out there get hot flashes? They usually come on about an hour and last on and off for about 3 hours. Thanks Chrissy

I would get those too...mine would just last a few minutes though. I hope it gets better but if it doesn't not to worry, clomid isn't something you have to take everyday Good luck on the next few weeks.....let the good times roll!!!!!

HIya, not only did I have hot flashes when I started met, I still have them more than 4 years later. For the first 6 months, I would break out in a sweat and practically rip off my clothes. SInce being on met, I am almost always hot (much to the great annoyance of amyone around me when I open the windows in the winter!)

Hope it gets better for you love! Hang in there.

Hmmm.......I wonder if that's a side effect of clomid that lasts long term or perhaps something else going on since it's been 4 years.

Not clomid- am not ttc. I don't take anything hormone related cuz I can't hack it.

No- since taking met, I am hot all the time.

FYI, never start taking cymbalta, you sweat like a pig in the frying pan!

Thanks all at least I know I'm not the only one here that has hot flashes with the metformin.

Oh i am so glad i'm reading this because i'm having the exact same thing since being on Met. I started seeing an Endo late last month and was dx'd with type 2 diabetes and he bumped up my Met to 2000mg a day (i was on 1000) But i'm also more than likely in perimenopause (just turned 45) & i also have Hashimoto's (since '05), I am on the proper dose of Armour Thyroid. I have hot flashes anyway but they have intensified since being on the high Met dose. Thanks for sharing, now i have peace of mind!
