[QUOTE="cold ethyl, post: 578139, member: 107467"] Is it possible to take one a day again or even half a day? I know when my Mum came off all her anxiety meds, that for a long time she continued to take just half an anti-depressant a day. The GP said its effect would be more psychological than "physical" and I think that she did cope better by taking it, if only because she believed she was still on meds and therefore doing ok. Does that make sense? Stress will upset your BS levels and maybe just covering yourself this way would make the funny feelings go or be less noticeable. They may all be psychological which isn't to say that they aren't real, but now you are more focussed on every bodily sensation because you are looking for them having come off the meds. It may be worth having a word with the GP or DN. My GP is a big fan of Metformin for lots of reasons and it looks like I'll be on it for eternity because of its protective effects. The fluttery stomach things could be your vagus nerve which is stimulated by eating and can trigger palpitations which you have also talked about. [/QUOTE]
