Unhappy S/E so crappy I'm thinking of quitting

In the past, I took Met ER, which seemed to work fine for me. My last prescription was for regular Met, and I've been taking it as prescribed for about three months. DRASTIC difference.

I'm starving constantly, even when I eat healthy foods that should (and always have) filled me up. I'm getting frequent severe headaches, and I have constant nausea and diarrhea (with occasional vomiting). The only thing that's different is the Met.

We don't have money to pay the copay/deductible/new prescription right now. Am I better off just quitting Met until we can afford to go back to the doc? If I stick this out, will it get better?

These S/E are really affecting how I care for my son, and he's getting shorted majorly!

That sounds really extreme. I've heard met S/E can vary due to generic provider.

Have you considered cutting back on your dose and building up gradually? Even if you just start at half a pill a day?

No chance I'm pregnant. We've been rocky, so there hasn't been any nooky for months now.

I've tried starting back at half a pill and working up, but that didn't help. I get the same S/E even with half a pill.

I didn't think about it being the generic filler. I need to look into that! That might be the whole problem.

Barring that, I think I need to ask for Met ER when I go for my annual next month. UGH!
