[QUOTE="Dark Horse, post: 1880944, member: 52527"] You need to see your GP. Although interaction between metformin and sertraline is not a well-known side-effect, that doesn't mean that it can't happen in rare cases. Sweating and altering your heartbeat are known possible side-effects of sertraline - it is possible that metformin is boosting the effect of the sertraline to give you these symptoms. On the other hand, sweating, nausea and pounding heart can be the result of an infection and it could just be coincidence. You could stop taking the metformin until you get your GP appointment - you could always restart it again later if it turns out you had an infection, or perhaps take lower doses of your medications if it turns out there has been an interaction between them. Your GP will be able to discuss this with you. [/QUOTE]
