[QUOTE="lady, post: 1339412, member: 32122"] Sorry to hear that you had problems with Metformin. I was put on Metformin about 2 years ago, I didn't want to go on this medication as I had heard stories of it giving people the runs. With me having IBS and hiatus hernia I was really concerned, so I mentioned to my diabetic nurse and I was told Metformin is the starting medication for type II, I was put on a low dose and old if I had any problems to ring straight away, 500mg made me bad only on it for 5 days, was taken off and put on Metformin XL (slow release) which seems to be ok for me, but now I believe it is affecting my levothyroxine medication, I was told by the chemist Metformin did interfere with levothyroxine, so now it's a battle to get my bloods checked with the once a year thing. But Im so glad you found the cause to your problem. [/QUOTE]
