Just started this medicine 3 weeks ago. I take a couple of other meds. One of them has constipation as a side effect and the Metformin has diarrhea as a side effect. Instead, I'm getting horrible gas and mild cramping.

It has lowered my BS about some and I don't have any trouble taking it.

Gas, cramping, but as I said, it could be just how it interacts with my other meds. I'll ask my Dr. about it in 2 weeks.

I am on 1,000 MG twice a day and while my sugar is doing well it actually has been a little bit low I think I am overmedicated

It works well for me

I do get dizzy and stomach upset from it occasionally

I started on Metformin and it worked fine with the exception of the digestive issues then I went on Lantus. The Lantus was not only very expensive, but also it was harder to control my BS. Went back on the Metformin and doing a much better time at controlling the BS. I can deal with the digestive problems.

It works.

Digestive problems, they seem to go away after a while though

new on it since July. I take it once a day with food in the a.m. Knock wood I've felt a bit off but not as bad as the enclosures with it tells you may happen

I had been so hungry and felt starved all of the time even when I ate and felt sick I was so full. Now after only a couple of weeks it seems that my appetite is gone and if anything I have to remember to eat and drink.

A little bit queasy and headaches if I don't eat. I usually have a headache anyway so who can tell what this is from.

If you don't eat your meals and snacks you will feel it. Last week was a stunner for me. All of a sudden I felt as though I could not move or talk etc. I must have been shutting down or something. I guess that means the pill is working and doing what it should and I need to do the same

I just started the Metformin in July. I only had a week of GI problems, but now it is fine. I am running about 130-160 and was low as 96.

I have not seen the weight loss yet, I will know in a few days.

BIG pills

I have been on Metformin for 6 years,

does not work all the time, helps you lose weight,

gives you the diarraha for the first couple of days, does weird stuff to you digestive tract, also pill is really big, and sometimes are to take

I was on this for 2 days. I had to stop cuz it gave me real bad side affects

It is not for everybody.

It works for a little while and it does everything it says it going to do.

In the long run you will be taking Imodium AD for the rest of your life cause it ruins your stomach. I know. It happened to me. It messed my stomach up.

i take the 1000 mg

seems to work.

gives me diarea

I am also taking this medicine.

Has helped me lose weight.
