Weight gain, hypocycemic problems, severe fatigue, rapid heart beat. Published: November 21, 2007 ::

Comment from: TforHog, 55-64 Male on Treatment for 2-5 years (Patient)

I like the ease of taking pill once a day. It works great following a good diet and it keeps my blood sugar in the good zone 95% of the time. I find that I am my worse enemy by not always eating right. I did not have any weight gain. I am 57 and have been using Amayrl for over 5 years, it has been a life saver for me.

Caused severe weight gain. MD did not even know that this was a side effect. We have to be our own advocate. Published: September 28, 2007 ::

Weight gain, experienced some hair loss. Doctor claimed it wasn't from Amaryl, I know it was the only new drug I was on at the time my hair became thinner. Published: February 09, 2008 ::

This drug has done wonders for me. I have not felt well for four months now but this med seems to make me feel better than I have in a long time. My count has went from 225 to 120 since on this pill. Yeah! Published: September 13, 2008 ::

Comment from: 45-54 Female on Treatment for 6 months - 1 year (Patient)

When I first began this medication, I found quite effective, but if I took in the morning, I had problems with my blood sugar dropping very low. That has seemed to gotten better over the last few months. Very recently, I am now having moderate to bad stomachaches every day that I take it. The effectiveness is also not as good as it was in the beginning. Published: May 01, 2008 ::
