Been on metformin mr for 3 months

On metforminmr 5oomg going have it increased to 1 gram today will side affects be worst with the inccreace
 
It can affect different people in different ways... Did make me very unwell after each increase... Off them now due to good bs control
 
Well done I was unwell at first not to bad now but don't fancy the increase
 
Remember to take them with food ... Think that can help stop some of the side effects ..
 
They not very nice tablets I take it with food in the evening
 
Oh so glad I'm doing better with the diet so hopefully won't be on them 2 long
 
Hi. If you are already on Metformin SR (Slow Release) you will probably not notice anything. I've always been on SR so have never had a problem in 10 years even on max dose. If you and others have problems that don't fade after a few weeks then do insist on having the SR version which I find I can take at any time
 
I was lucky only had a few tummy cramps when I first started , I take them with food my main meal of an evening and been ok so far JJ

Hi Daibell. Could you please tell me what time of day you take your Metformin. I have been on SL for about three weeks now and am taking it in the evening but would prefer taking it in the morning with breakfast. Any comments please? Thank you.
 
I take mine late afternoon and feel so unwell since up dose last week feel very tired sick and headaches
