Hi

I did not have any of the symptoms you describe when I was taken off gliclazide - although I was only on it for a couple of months befofe going on Exenatide. The symptoms you describe may be the side-effects of the exenatide. Fortunately I was spared those!

Regards

Doug
 
I'm on Glic and have never heard of any withdrawal problems with it. On the other hand Exenatide is known to cause stomach/bowel upsets with some people so I would be suspicious of that?
