[QUOTE="Shas3, post: 2016959, member: 501900"] I have been struggling a bit with various side effects and struggled to identify which medication is doing what. Anyway. I was on Metformin 500 mg x 1 per day since November last year (in addition to Forxiga 5mg). In December Metformin was increased to 500 x 2 per day. It was ok for a while but i was having such nausea and dizziness i was feeling miserable. I just reduced to 1 Metformin and i was feeling much much better today. However i am really cutting carbs to keep numbers in control. So, even though most people find Metformin side effects to be not too bad, it is very dependent on the individual. So [USER=479832]@Tashch31[/USER] Definitely talk soon to a doctor. If it is bad, you could consider stopping it till you see a doctor (though it is not for me to provide medical advice). Meanwhile as you will find in all the discussion, Metformin has a bit of an effect on your numbers and the big impact is really diet (cut the carbs - as much as you can), and physical activity!! Good luck [/QUOTE]
