Met Side Affects--Help!From: Kelly (anonymous@obgyn.net)Thu, 23 Mar 2000 21:29:17 -0600 (CST)
After a lifetime of tests and MDs and 2 years of unsuccessful infertility treatments, I'm finally diagnosed with PCOS. Now my IF/Endo MD has started me on Metformin (500mg). This is my first week with the RX and I have had horrific stomach pains, gas pressure pains (all the way in my chest) and various other gastric problems. As with the PCOS, I reached the RX extensively and I know these are all common side affects. My questions: 1--How long before they subside? 2--Are there any tricks (ie certain foods to eat or avoid) to lessen the gastric problems? 3--What warning signs should I be on the look out for (ie, if the pain gets severe or last more than a week?) before I call my MD? 4--ARe there other alternative RX other than Rezulin, if I cannot tolerate? Thanks.
