Diagnosed with Type II Diabetes, I have been taking Metformin for about 3 years. I did not have any of the symptoms that other people have had. So far so good.
My stomach is now bloated and I look 9 months pregnant ( no lie) I have had SO much gas its awful. I also have noticed I am very agitated and my pain meds don't seem to be working at all since taking this med. The only way I can describe the feeling I feel when I take this medication is that to hydroxycut ( the weight loss suppressant which I would NEVER recommend nor will I take it again).I am very anxious, jittery,feel like I am crawling out of my skin. I started on 500mg daily for week 1 and this is day 2 of taking 500 mg in am and then again in pm.Blood sugars remain all over the place...145- 333. I plan on letting the doc know.
My husband is on this horrible drug for the past few years. If he has ONE good day a week, he counts his blessings. He has terrible gas pains, vomiting, diarreah and said he always feels like he has a "hangover." What a horrible way to live, and his blood sugar isn't really even that high. I'm trying to get his doctor to take him off this gargage so he can resume a normal life.
does not lower blood sugar levels efficiently
