Have you tried the extended release version? Or taking your dose before bedtime?

Chuckie: I also wondered about diet...are you regulating your insulin at all? I was sick on met for over a year because I refused to stop eating carbs by the pounds and when I finally committed to diet, my side effects literally went away overnight. I will never under estimate what food goes in my mouth again! It is a huge factor and it might help.

Feel better!

I took it for 7 months and mine never improved. I was tired, actually constipated for the first time in my life, and had the sex drive of a snail. My spiro stopped working IMO and wouldn't work the same even after stopping met. I'm on DCI now and have fair results. I have acne, but I stopped the spiro in order to ttc, so that's to be expected.

Never wrestle with a pig. You both get dirty, and the pig likes it.
