User Reviews for metformin oral

I have Type 2 Diabetes, the Metformin works okay but I have lower blood sugar levels with a new medication my dr. put me on Januvia works better and I feel better with Januvia.

i have been on this medication 4 months blood suger was 266 now runs about 98 to 130 AC1 was7.8% last check was 5.6% take 850 mil.twice a day. Great stuff.

I have been using this drug for 2 years. It has been extremely effective controling my sugars.

I was diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes. After I exercise, I'm dizzy, tired and all that good stuff. My doctor says to take it once a day on the days I work out, and twice a day when I don't. My ACE is 6. Do I even need to keep taking this stuff?

I did not have high blood sugar but was diagnosed with PCOs and my doctors were very worried about infertility. I took Metformin for a month and became pregnant within that time. I had no side effects when taking the drug and would highly recommend it for women who are having difficulty with fertility because of PCOs.

I do not have PCOS or Type 2 diabetes. I was prescribed Metformin a month ago for insulin resistance syndrome and weightloss. So far I've lost 11 lbs. The medication works, however the occassional upset stomach, bloating and diarrhea have been bothersome. I have lost more water weight and feces than actual fat. My clothes fit more loosely so that to me is a good sign. Make sure you are drinking tons of water to prevent dehydration.

I started taking this medication in September and the results so far have been amazing. I would recommend to anyone they talk with their doctor about this medication if they are diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes.

I have PCOS and was told to take this to help. I am having alot of stomach bloating and uncomfortable stomach aches. I have also had rage and uncontrolled anger for no reason at all.

Achey and flu like symptoms. Any one else?

I have PCOS and it was prescribed to help control the insulen and andogen levels. It works well, but the upset stomache side effects have been hard to deal with.

Diagnosed 2 mo ago type 2. No side affects I'm aware of yet. currently taking 1000 mg twice a day with food

ive become very angry and short-tempered for no good reason. i lash out and become consumed with rage. i dont like being this way but the metforin lowers my blood sugar so well. has anyone else experienced this?

My dr is trying me on this for my facial hair and periods and to prevent Diabetes and so far so good!!!

I started out slow taking just 500mg per day with food. I'm now up to 2000mg per day with no side effects (knock on wood). It helped me ovulate and I'm losing weight.

The extended release is a far better choice for me. The GI side-effects are minimal. The regular Metformin caused severe GI side effects - diahrea & nausea. My symptoms cleared up immediately on changing to the extended release form.

I was diagnosed with type two diabetes about 2 years ago. I was perscribed metformin and took it for about 6 months. Within the first 2-3 months i lost about 45lbs. but after that i mabye lost another 5lbs. in 4 months. Lookking back on my exsperience with metformin I would have rather not have taken it. The stomach aces and diarrhea were terrible. i only lost 45lbs. because i could not eat. i was not myself during those 6 months because i was sick and extremely tired all the time. after commming off the metformin i gain all of my weight back plus some more, all within about 4-5 months. my diabetes went away and has not come back so far. Metformin is a good quick fix but long term it ended up making things worseRead More Read Less

I have had no problems with this drug but now I have no insurance to purchase it what will happen when I Stop taking it.
