Re: GlucophageFrom: Avalos (anonymous@obgyn.net)Thu, 18 May 2000 13:51:10 -0500
Monica: generally, no. there are a few things to help you with glucophage, first is to start taking it slowly. most of us start on 500 mg/day and work ourselves up to whatever dosage our doctors want us at. If the 500 mg/day makes you sick, break the pill in half, and start by taking 1/2 pill per day, then work your way up by half-pills until you get to the dosage that the doctor wants you to be at.... some people say that taking it before bedtime helps (my doctor recommended this, even though I don't heed that bit of advice, I have heard that it helps). some folks say that taking it before meals helps, others swear by taking it after meals.... bottom line is to find a method that works for you and stick to it. Also, the side effects do go away for most of us, usually wearing off in a few days; it is possible, as you increase the dosage, that you will have some effects after increasing, then level off and be fine again... I'm sorry to hear that it has affected you so badly & I hope you feel better soon!
