I have just come off metformin after 8 long and painfull months of taking two 500mg of the stuff three times a day i am now on something called gliclozide 3 80mgs a day after 2 days off metformin i had warm hands/feet and the tip of my nose again hurray however, i now have the most severe munchies now and i am still in a lot of muscular skelatall pain off the metformin (allegadly). I was wondering if anyone else has had the same symptoms from metformin and/or the increased appetite from stop taking metformin?
