Hi Crewy, I don't take metformin but I know others have reported that the side-effects can wear off. If they persist though, there is a slow-release version which is often better tolerated. I think it's called Glucophage SR. More expensive than ordinary metformin, which is why the tablets are prescribed first.

hey crewy the side effects should subside but if its really too much go back to GP ...i was initally put on 2xday but it was reduced after 4 months cos i was looking and feeling terrible..good luck

The side effects of metformin do subside after a while. I always find if I don't eat or have too many carbs and sugars I also get an upset tummy. If it doesn't subside or is too uncomfrotable go see your doctor as there are other things you can take.
