I have not had any side effects! Has anyone else had no side effects from Metformin? IS it still working, because i can eat carbs with my meals and still not have any problems. Just wondering since tomorrow im moving up to 1500mg.

I have never had side effects from metformin. I guess we are lucky!

Big mouth! Don't make me bring up the bathtub thing here!

But really.. I had side effects bad, while my sis didn't. I was a bit jealous!

Honestly...the only really big side effect that I get is when I have to use the bathroom RIGHT away after a meal full of carbs or grease. Other than that, the met really hasn't affected me. You are lucky though!

Talking me either!

I am on my 2nd Week of 1500mgs and NO SIDE EFFECTS!!! I did have a few times when I'd go too long w/o eating, that I would get low blood sugar, but none of the horror stories. I am thrilled! I was so nervous starting Met, but so far so good. I am on the IR diet so maybe that helps!

My side effects have been mild, although its only been a week and I have just moved up to 1000mg per day. For those that have had minor or no side effects - have you still lost weight, assuming you ate well and exercised?

Weightloss is my primary goal (although avoiding diabetes and other health issues is obviously also important). My diet is good - high protein/Low GI and I exercise 5+ times per week, which I think might be why my side effects are mild, even though I have had one or two high carb/high fat things.

My side effects have also been mild. I often have to remind myself to eat though. Blood sugar gets low and then I get a headache. Consider yourself very lucky!
