This is my first post so I hope I have put it in the right place!
I'm type 2 and have been muddling along OK on slow release metformin for 3 years. However 2 months ago i started feeling really awful - bloated, upset bowel, stomach pain and extreme exhaustion. I just cant find the energy to do much at all. Spoke to my nurse about it today and mentioned that 2 months ago the chemist didn't give me my usual Glucophage but gave me Bolamyn. When I asked him about it he said it was exactly the same but cheaper and he couldn't afford to give me Glucophage. The nurse seems to think that this change in manufacturer could be behind my problems and got me a new prescription stating it must be Glucophage. I'm praying that I'll start feeling better soon. Has anyone else had a problem like this?
