    I was taking this drug for over a year. It seemed to cause swelling in my legs and feet (both), poor circul;ation ijn both legs and pain in both feet and ankles. My doctor decided that the side effects were not worth the use of the drug. He changed my RX to Janumet 50-1000MG. Published: September 24, 2007 ::

    In men it causes extreme ED, Not sure if this happens with women? Have tired not taking it for a full day and my sexual drive came back. But when I started taking it again my sex drive went away just as fast. No ED medications will work with it either. Published: November 05, 2007 ::

    I have been taking this drug for 4 years now....seems to make my ankles swell some and I'm a little less active in the bedroom now.This drug seems to effect my ENTIRE life with my wife.I feel the side effects are worse than the effects.This is my non-professional opinion....stay away.

    horrible horrible drug causes hand and foot fractures in diabetic women! After 3 months on this med I suffered a stress fracture in my left foot. I have never broken a bone prior to this and walked 2miles/day for over 20 years. 7 weeks in a cast and on crutches and now I am in physical therapy to relearn how to walk. This is a dangerous medication! Please read the side effects before taking this medication. Published: March 10, 2009 ::

    Started taking Avandamet 2/500 about 2 years ago and for 16 months it woked fine. Then my AC1 went to 7, so the doctor increased to 4/500. I start to gain weight and had swelling in my legs and hands. Switched back to 2/500, but no good.Still had swelling. Went to the doctor today and he has switched me to Janumet which we will give it a shot. Published: June 18, 2009 ::

    I was on this medication for six months, I can't say that it was what caused me to have all kinds of infection, but its a good bet that it was. My body felt like it was very acid and I itched all the time---when I stopped taking it I immediately felt like I was going to live! That's no joke, I told my husband I thought this might be the beginning of the end for me. After being off of it for a month and a half, the doctor persuaded me to go back on it, after one week all the old symptoms came back! Yes, you guessed it I quit again and never will go back on it.

    Since taking this medication, I am sick all day from the side effects. All of them. If this medicine causes heart failure, why is it still allowed to be sold to patients who need the help in controling blood sugar, not dieing early. Published: May 31, 2009 ::
