Re: Thirsty and circulation problems on Metformin From: Sally (anonymous@obgyn.net) Mon, 22 Apr 2002 06:47:05 -0500 (CDT) Messages sorted by: [ date ][ thread ][ subject ][ author ] Next message: MB: "But What, Precisely, Are the Risks?" Previous message: saeedeh: "Re: How long until pregnancy with Metformin treatment?" In reply to: anonymous: "Thirsty and circulation problems on Metformin" Hi, I believe that some people have posted before that Metformin can cause potassium imbalance (you might want to post this as keywords on this site). Some of them suggested taking a potassium containing supplement or eating more potassium containing foods. When taking met you should increase your water intake(cause met is excreted by the kidneys). I get muscle cramps since I started met, but they have settled down considerably since I first started. My muscles still seem to be extra excitable - such that if I jump up suddenly (like at a cockroach - I absolutely hate them) I will end up with cramps in the responding muscles - and I can easily stimulate muscle cramps in my legs just by contracting my toes hard for a couple of seconds..... Dr. tested for electrolyte imbalance but said all appears to be normal.... Maybe the above is worth a try. -- Sally At Sat, 20 Apr 2002, anonymous wrote: > >Taking 850g Metformin twice a day for a couple of weeks for PCOS.
