hi, i was just wondering how you felt whilst taking the actos. I am currently taking metformin, 2000mg daily, and have been prescribed actos 15mg daily aswell. This is the 3rd day of taking the meds and i have felt extremly anxious, as if ive drank 100 cups of coffee. Did you get any side effects from actos? Im also on dianette till the end of the month.
