Dizziness anyone?
I had chronic dizziness for a year and saw soo many doctors that said it couldn't be the Metformin, but then I decided to quit taking it on my own and wha la! No dizziness after that again. Now I am put back on it for 2 weeks starting yesterday and the dizziness came back last night. Does anyone else have this? I can handle nausea and bathroom problems but every time I close my eyes at night to sleep, my head starts spinning.

I got really dizzy a few hrs after taking it at first and now only every once in a while.
I had it every day all day. It's worse right after I take it too though and then I start to recover right before I have to take it again. lol

It's only 500 and the gyno that originally prescribed it said to keep taking it anyway and the Endo that just prescribed it knows too but said to try anyway because it could really help.
I saw a lot of different types of doctors for the dizziness until I took matters in my own hands and stopped taking the metformin and the dizziness magically disappeared and never came back til yesterday when I started it again.

Nope, no answers. Doctors don't even believe me when I tell them either. It's not listed as a major or minor recurring side effect so to them, it doesn't exist. Yet I know 100% for sure it's that. I also had the exact same reaction to Victoza. With the Metformin, the severity would hit me throughout the day. Like I'd be taking a shower and bend over and all of a sudden it would hit me, or most nights I would close my eyes and my head would start spinning (it felt like it was right above my eyes in my head). I had a lot of sleepless nights from that.

If it wernt for you having this problem before when on met then going off met and the issue going away I would think vertigo as I have that..thats why I suggest seeing an ENT, even still an ENT might believe you.

I was on Metformin years ago, and never experienced any dizziness. I just got on it again 10 days ago, 750 mg XR, and I get the worst dizziness! I thought it was reacting badly with some food I ate or maybe vertigo, but it comes in waves all day no matter what I eat! I do not get it very badly at night when I lay down, thank goodness! I can only imagine how bad that is for you :/ It does make driving really hard, and I sit at a desk in front of a computer all day which only makes it worse. Between the dizziness and the nausea, I can't stand this medication!

I feel drowsy most of the time, and seem to just want to sleep for some reason. My dose is only the 500 mg, so wondering if I will feel the same once the dosage is increased. I am hoping that this will wear off soon.
