I have been using Metformin for 3weeks now and still get terrible headaches. Is this normal ? Thanks

Some do get side affects to metformin if it does persist ask your doc for the slow release type
How many are you taking ?
 
I was on that and gave me terrible diarrhoea! No headaches though, I'm now on glyclazide which is so much better
 
I think Metformin is a safer drug than Gliclazide which also can have side effects. Speak with your medic and ask for extended release Metformin instead which should lesson the side effects. Take your medication always with food.
