Hi Metformin users.
500mg pills.
How have you been getting on? I haven't managed to get up to the prescribed dose yet and while the first week (@ 1 pill a day) was uneventful (some minor issues) every single time I dose up to 2 pills. (1breakfast and 1 dinner) within a day I'm having some more serious stomach issues.
So I continue on just 1 pill for a few more days before adding the second and i have the same issue again.
It's got to the point where a couple of times I've not left the house that day because of it. I restarted the 2nd pill again last night and shortly after my breakfast pill I started to feel crappy again. I was a few things planned this morning but I've cancelled them all. I don't think I'll be leaving the house until much later in the day.
Ill be bringing it up when I'm at the doctors and they've already mentioned a slow release alternative but wanted to know if those were any better? If you've had issues with the pills and then been put on slow release has that been better for you.
