[QUOTE="Two Sheds, post: 2021021, member: 503289"] I've been having the same problems. I've been put on Metformin for a couple of years now, but vertigo and dizziness manifested in the New Year and were for a time serious problems. A pharmacist mentioned possible dizziness with Metformin, so I went off it and upped my daily exercise and the vertigo largely went. Conscious of the long-term implications of Diabetes 2 I restarted Metformin a couple of weeks back and vertigo's returned with a vengeance, including as I write this. Googling 'metformin vertigo' found this site, natch, but also reputable pages such as the US government's Medline Plus which has a boxed warning on its Metformin page. Neither it nor the NHS page on Metformin list dizziness as a side-effect but IMO they should do. I'm coming off it again and making an appointment with my GP to explore alternatives. [/QUOTE]
