[QUOTE="Jan Roberts, post: 347153, member: 58244"] Hi all. I have joined this forum this morning. I need to ask how many of you have or had trouble with side effects after taking Gliclazide? I am on 4 metformin daily. was taking 80mg Gliclazide twice daily until 2 weeks ago when the Doctor doubled the dosage to help bring down my glucose levels which were at 11. I know this is high but stress is too due to doing a degree and having builders in trying to sort out a severe damp problem. The morning I began the higher dosage I had the worst headache ever within an hour and later felt really sick, bad stomach pains, anxiety and my BP went through the roof. Went back to the lower dose that evening and then started at one and a half tablets the next day. Still had a lesser headache and nausea etc but it eased after a week. Took 2 tablets last saturday morning and felt so unwell - same side effects - that I have now gone back to the one and a half again. I take meds for blood pressure, hypothyroidism, arthritis,cholesterol too. Can anyone help? I can't go to my doctor as I am housebound and they refuse to do home visits except for the once a year glucose/ health checks. Thanks in advance Jan [/QUOTE]
