Melatonin

I have read here that Metformin gives some people diarrhea. How can you deal with that. Change the times you take it, take imodium, change medication, but to
what. I am becoming a recluse because and thats not good for my mental health.
 
The standard advice is to always take metformin with food, and to give your body time to get used to it in the hope that the side effects will ease.
For some people though, myself included, the side effects are persistent and just not worth whatever small benefits metformin may give.
I got my life back by binning the metformin and cutting enough carbs out of my diet to control my sugar levels, no drugs, no side effects.
 
Melatonin or metformin?
Melatonin helps to regulate sleep cycles, and was never popular with the NHS. I tried it for a trip to Canada and found it helped me get over my appalling jet lag.
