Re: just started metformin

Metformin can cause a wide range of side effects, the most common of those are gastrointestinal-related (like upset stomach, flatulence, diarrhea), and supposedly they go away once the patient has been taking Met for a while.

However, a small percentage of people have severe reactions to Met and can not take it. You should probably check with your doctor, just to be safe!

I just started 500mg metformin 3 days ago and am having a terrible time! I'm sick to my stomach, tired as heck and my throat hurts. I'm beginning to wonder if I'm coming down with something or if it's the metformin? I'm supposed to increase the dosage every 5 days until I reach 1500/day. I'm very discouraged and am having a hard time taking care of my children (4 under the age of 8!) and husband and household. Has anyone else had these side effects? Should I put off increasing the dose? Help!
