Bad taste in mouth from metformin

Anyone get this? I’m on 2000 mg a day and I noticed that ever since I raised my dose from 500 mg a day to 2000 I have a sickening taste in my mouth. I think it must give me bad breath too. Anyone else have this?

I’m on 1500mg a day and don’t notice anything.

How are you taking the 2000mg? Is it slow release or 4 x 500mg ?

1000 mg tablet in the morning and 1000 at night.

Maybe you could ask about the extended (slow) release version?

I’m taking 3x 500mg a day. 4x500mg could be inconvenient though.

No, I don’t have that. It has been 19 hours without anyone saying that have it, though. Does it taste like fish or onions?

I take 1000mg/day and I do t have that either. Maybe ask your doc?
