It's very frustrating, but I can understand why. They have plenty of rows between themselves behind the scenes; we just don't see it!How many Metformin are you taking, and when? It might make a difference if you cut down on the quantity, or took them all at once/separated them over the day. I doubt if stopping them all at once would hurt; someone else may know more.Some people find that taking them right in the middle of a meal helps reduce the side-effects, rather than taking them before and after.What other pills are you on? Is nausea a side-effect of any of them? Maybe it's not just the met. Try taking a list of everything you take and ask your local pharmacist for advice - and on how to stop the met. They're usually delighted to help.Otherwise I don't know what to say to help. I've never had nausea as a side-effect. If you really can't bear it, stop them and make an appointment to see the specialist GP immediately on his/her return.Good luck!Viv  8)</blockquote>
