Yes. I had these symptoms too, even at low doses, just in smaller amounts. Lightheadedness, trouble breathing, dizzyness, and GI complaints. I know medical wisdom says these things are not *supposed* to be happening unless you have that liver thing, but they happened to me,too, and my liver is fine. I stopped taking met and won't go back on it. It just may be that different people are sensitive to different medications or metabolize them differently, I don't know. I wish I could take met. But I can't.
