[QUOTE="ickihun, post: 1530166, member: 196960"] Have you tried reducing the medication to just 2 standard tablets a day to get rid of side affect and then build up again slowly? I was told to stop metformin in bouts of sickness and diarrhea. Everytime I do I have to build up slowly to 2000mgs of slow release. I start with one 500mg tablet daily then 1 twice a day on the next day and do that for a week to 2wks. Then I add the 3rd and 4th 500mg to my existing twice a day routine to prevent upset tum.
