Message: <blockquote data-quote="spendercat" data-source="post: 1253697" data-attributes="member: 33884">In the last two years some terrible life stresses have caused my Type2 to worsen, and although diet controlled for years my doctor wanted me to try Metformin.We started at 500mg slow release, and after three months I was pretty sick and miserable, nevertheless we increased it to 750mg, and within a month I had to stop. I had exhaustion, nausea and overwhelming malaise. Worst of all was the SMELL. Everything tasted and smelled of rotten cabbages. Food, coffee, wine, and me, my body, sweat, aargh.I know other people have suffered these sort of side effects so my question is: when does it stop?Three weeks later the smell is still with me. Food is inedible and weirdly, I can't smell anything else - not perfume or normal scents at all.Getting a bit desperate here.Incidentally he has now given me Glipimide, and I am afraid to take it.</blockquote>
