Not feeling great on Glucophage XRFrom: Kristi (anonymous@obgyn.net)Tue, 10 Jul 2001 09:02:26 -0500 (CDT)
Hi, Kari wrote that she "felt anemic, tired all the time, headachy, today just feel like crap" on Avandia, although it seemed connected to her cycle. I am IR and I've been taking Glucophage XR (500 mg with dinner, tonight I'm going to begin taking 2 with dinner.) I've only been taking it for 7 days but have experienced tiredness, headaches, and general blah! I am following a carb controlled diet (Carbohydrate Addict's Healthy Heart Plan - I tried it previously with good success, wasn't taking meds and had fantastic energy. I went off the plan for about two years and gained most of the weight I lost back.) In the 7 days I've been "on plan" and taking Glucophage XR I haven't lost any weight and I don't feel energetic and although the frequency of the headaches has lessened, I'm not feeling GOOD. I'm going to give the meds a chance, I just wanted to know if the group or medical professionals have advice on what might be happening with my body: Why am I experiencing these symptoms? How long is reasonable give the medication time to work? I asked my nutritionist (and R.D.) and she said it was possible my body was "detoxing?".
-- Thanks, Kristi Z.
