[QUOTE="Lord Choc Ice, post: 322639, member: 49975"] Cosy, I agree with swimmer2 in that you need to talk to your GP. I would never stop taking any medication unless specifically told to do so. As swimmer2 says, it sounds like you're taking Metformin which I do too - the SR version. I can sympathise with you when it comes to the unwanted visits to the toilet and know it drives you to distraction and wanting to stop the medication seems the best way to help. Discuss your concerns with your GP or nurse and ask what they suggest. Maybe they'll put you on some anti-diarrhea medication such as Imodium or Codeine Phosphate or perhaps they'll review your medication and find alternative drugs. I have had many accidents so know the feeling only too well about long journeys by cab to the hospital or...well anywhere really. You need to put your mind at rest so talking about it will be the best course of action. [/QUOTE]
