Amy, I have been on Metformin since last October. I started out with one pill with breakfast. Then after one week, I added one pill with supper. After 2 months, I added a pill with lunch. I have been on 3 pills per day since then. I did not have any side effects until I added the second pill. ALWAYS take it with food, preferably nothing that is too fatty (like fast food) or too sweet. Those types of foods usually make the side effects worse. I suffered from nausea, but never vomitted. I also noticed that it will make you gassy, which my family does not appreciate!

Try to stick with it for a few more days. If it does not get better, call your doctor.

Good luck! Kathy
