[QUOTE="Brunneria, post: 1405646, member: 41816"] Hi [USER=384397]@Tashaprince[/USER] When you were prescribed the metformin were you advised to start the tablets slowly? One tab a day for the first week, then a second tab added the second week, and so on? And were you advised to have the tablets with food (not on an empty stomach)? Several people have commented that doing these things make the transition to Metformin much easier. The general advice is that symptoms should settle down after a few days, or a week or two, and become symptom free. For people who don't find this, a slow release option of Metformin is available, but medical professionals tend not to prescribe this to start with, because it is more expensive. Welcome to the forum :) [/QUOTE]
