[QUOTE="JoJo_MoJo, post: 1427739, member: 392234"] I was on Metformin and then changed to the SR version. I have suffered painful bloating to the extent that people would ask when my baby was due! I had loss of appetite and struggled to swallow every mouthful. I had many tests done and in the end my Dr suggested I stop taking Metformin for a while. Within days my stomach problems were better and my sugar levels also reduced. My Dr put me back on Metformin as he said even a low dose was beneficial but the misery started all over again. I will never take it again. I still have some stomach problems occasionally and I feel this is a result of long term damage caused by years of metformin. It may be a super drug but the misery just wasn't worth it for me [/QUOTE]
