Metformin

[Truffle]

I had the same problem for about 8 months. I was on 3 x 500 metformin a day. If I knew I was going anywhere away from a loo I would start having panic attacks - especially on the tube in London! In the end the only way I could deal with it was to take a load of imodium before I went out - not ideal but at least I didn't embarrass myself! When I got my bs under control my doctor cut my metformin to 2 a day and the problem is much better. I still have the odd day when I have to make a dash for it but generally it is ok now but I always have imodium in my handbag - just in case!

Was at GP today and spoke to him about my problems with the loo and taking Metformin, he changed it to SR Metformin no problem. The only thing is I have to take 4 with my dinner thought that sounded a lot at the one time but we will see how things go, if it helps with the suddeness of having to go to the loo I will be happy.
