[QUOTE="Energize, post: 847653, member: 28960"] Hi I'm Type 2 Diabetic for several years and have been on Metformin. I'm still on Metformin but had Glclizide added a couple of months ago. Unfortunately, I developed some side effects which seemed to be attributed to the Gliclizide, such as nausea, headaches, woolly brain, very tired, no energy, no interest in things, some depression. So, doctor changed the Gliclizide for Glipizide. I've been on Glipizide for two weeks now but although I don't feel nauseated, have few headaches, I am feeling so tired, can only move slowly, have absolutely no interest in things, very depressed and crying so, although feeling different from when taking the former medication, am feeling really unwell at the moment., I've just had a (requested) phone call from my GP who maintains depression is not likely a side effect, that I am depressed on/off and so little he could suggest! Yes, I do suffer from depression but I feel these tablets are causing me a problem. The GP didn't bother asking how I felt otherwise and clearly gave me the impression he wasn't interested. Not very helpful, to my mind. So, my question is, does this medication cause side effects such as depression? Research online suggests it does. My GP claims no, and he's never heard of depression as a side effect. I am so fed up with doctors who have no time for depressive people. I'm about at the end of my tether now. Thanks [/QUOTE]
