[QUOTE="poshtotty, post: 1595620, member: 100221"] That was definitely not my experience. At the time of prescribing metformin, my GP told me of the possible side effects, and each time I collected a new prescription from the chemist, before he would hand over the meds, the pharmacist asked me for about the first 4 months, how I was getting on with it, and if I had any tummy problems, reminding me to build up gradually to the full dose. As it happened, by following the GP and pharmacist's advice I have never had any problems with it, and I'm not alone but sadly we tend to mainly read negative reports of it here from the small minority who haven't tolerated it.
