[QUOTE="Indy51, post: 633726, member: 48386"] Yes, the same thing happened to me taking just 1x500mg extended release metformin. Get them to check your B12 and ferritin levels. Because of the low ferritin, I ended up having an endoscopy and they discovered bleeding gastritis - stopped taking metformin and all cleared up fine. I had no sign of occult blood in stool because the bleeding was too high up, but the ferritin level made it clear there was bleeding somewhere. [/QUOTE]
