[QUOTE="longshanks, post: 188783, member: 33851"] Hi all I was dx 2 years ago with T2 & started off on diet, being dx with T2 I decided that's it NO sugar at all, cakes, biscuits deserts, nothing, and I have kept to that. After 6 months I was put on metformin 500g at one a day, at the next 6 month review it was upped to two, 6 months on then 4 a day that was April 4th. From the increased dose of two tablets I started to get Stomach pains and requested a changed to slow release and that seemed to cure the problem. I have now been on 4 tabs a day for about two and a half weeks and the stomach pains hit me with a vengence, I also feel listless I get back pains, I am also experiencing woozyness, sometimes when I get up from bending over to quickly I feel slight dizzyness. I read on one diabetic forum that the generic form of Metformin can be a bit hit and miss with duff batches getting onto the market, this said is it better to ask for a branded version. I am getting a bit desperate as these side affects are making me very miserable. regards [/QUOTE]
