[QUOTE="BaliRob, post: 1606992, member: 36236"] So refreshing to read posts from those members who have come off Metformin. I am beginning to think that nearly all drugs prescribed for me over the past 11 years or so have been contra-effective and have done me more harm than good Example No. 1 - STATINS - decided to come off them after reading contributions here about side-effects - GREAT RESULT no more aches and pains at night in shoulders, neck and elbows and tender painful bone to bone contact AND considerable reduction in nocturnal leg cramps. Example No. 2 - all of the heart drugs intended to prevent hypertension caused me to have immediate and serious HYPOTENSION. Needless to say that I have come off each and every one of them almost immediately especially as I have always had PERFECT BLOOD PRESSURE notwithstanding 62% left ventricle Congestive Heart Failure. For those on Metformin with CHF - I would refer them to Google (can give all of the references) where there is a large body of opinion (from experts) that Metformin and all similar drug constituents should NOT be prescribed for those with CHF or similar heart problems. Example No. 3 - LASIX - I think Lasix has been killing me - not helping me bcause I have been worried for sometime now that Lasix is NOT A CONSISTENT drug - there has never been a proportionate passing of urine all of the years I have been taking it and the higher the dosage (withing safety perameters) has resulted in seriously reducing output to almost stopping me from urinating. I have greatly reduced my dosage from 160mg to 20mg and have suddenly felt better in the mornings than for a long time - almost a sense of well-being. And, by the way - no improvement to feet, ankles and lower leg oedema whatever the dose I am taking. I am not a prolific contributor but hope that my little 'nuggets' help someone out there. [/QUOTE]
