Message: <blockquote data-quote="Mary_m" data-source="post: 1138206" data-attributes="member: 275735">HiI had an awful time with Metformin - just as you describe. On several occasions I awoke during the night with stomach cramps, diarrhoea and vomiting and truly felt like I was going to die. This went on intermittently for about 2 months. When I went to the GP he laughed and said 'welcome to the world of Metformin!' He prescribed me a gastro-resistant - Omeprazole, which stopped it - also took away my constant acid reflux. I have since been prescribed the slow release version of Metformin in the hope of doing away with the Omeprazole, but I usually find I have digestive problems after a few days of not taking it. However, lots of people say they get used to Metformin after a few weeks, so I hope you will be the same.Quite honestly, I don't find much difference between the two.All the best x</blockquote>
