I started taking it about 6 weeks ago. The only side effect I have noted is that I need to pee a little more frequently, but I was expecting that.
 
Hello yes Iv definitely got that effect, thank you for letting me know ..🙂 I had the vaccine sane tome I started then maybe it’s that that’s affecting me instead , my sugars were already high :/
 
I'm on Empagliflozin, never really noticed any side effects from it.
 
Sorry to hear you’ve been feeling irritable and emotional @Healthier

I’ve not taken Forxiga, but I recognise those symptoms from my reaction to high BG levels. No idea if that’s the case for you!

I think @Stitch147 was on one of the gliflozins, but I don’t know if it was Forxiga.

Hope things settle down for you.

There are a few experiences from various members here:

Thank you so much 🙂
 
I only took empagliflozin for a week but didn’t have this side effect. Have you been drinking plenty as dehydration could make you feel a bit rubbish, or have your blood sugars changed as that could make you feel different too. If it doesn’t settle though, go back and speak about it.
