It can do but it is not common - I would talk to your GP

thanks for that
i will call drs monday and hopefully can either be seen or have a call back
i need the sertraline at the moment so i might just stop the metformin and see what happens in the meantime

Licklemoose - Only you can decide how to handle the next couple of days, until you can catch up with your Doc, but one comment I will make is that Metformin works by building up in your system to reach a therapeutic level. It doesn't work on a dose by dose basis, so if you leave it off, it could take several days before you see any impact.

To be balanced, there a minority who do notice things on a day to day basis, but they are less usual.
