Metformin ER
| Thu, 04-08-2004 - 8:37pm |
I think I have a faint memory about why I had to stop the Metformin when my PCP gave it to me for weight loss (I think) two+ years ago.
I am experiencing stomach aches, nausea, feeling of weakness, flatulence, constipation, and general fatigue.
What say you about all this from those you either take it, have taken it, or have much needed information?
I'm going to give it another 3-4 days to see what happens. I have the Glucopaghe XR, and will probably try it before I call my doctor. May call the PA the beginning of the week anyway. I sure feel miserable.

I actually fainted in my neighbor's classroom about 15 years ago (long before diabetes) after giving blood that day. Now I know to stay put and send a kid for help- those concrete floors are HARD! LOL

Thanks for the hopeful message. My stomach feels like someone punched me! That's only on 500mg. Was going to call the PA today, but got waylaid.
Thought if I had nails put on that would cheer me up. Am going to a dinner Monday evening, and the speaker is discussing some facet of the treatment of depression.
Need a few more CEU's for my licensure the end of June. Wanted to wear a pretty ring.
Anyway was thinking about it and decided against it. What if they rough up my fingers too much with the fills and I end up with an infection! So, a self-manicure Sunday, probably with tools I know are disinfected.
Here's hoping the sense of malaise will go away. Am tired of my stomach aching.
Still have gas, but it's not as bad. Still have a sense of bloating,
but that, too, has lessened.
Thanks for helping me along.
:-)
