Started metformin today finally

Upset stomach for a few weeks the guy at the pharmacy said. Not looking forward to that.

Good luck everhopeful, may it not be so bad and give you some more years to live :slight_smile:

That’s true, I keep thinking of that. But for the next few weeks I’ll be complaining like the bad patient that I am! :smile:

If you don’t mind then what is metformin for? for anxiety and restlessness?

My blood tests showed that abilify has raised my blood sugar levels too much, so metformin is supposed to bring those levels back under control.

There’s some evidence that it can extend your life too.

A great med, Thumbs up for you!

You should get used to the side effects as time goes by @everhopeful.

Metformn is a very good drug, lots of Health benefits to it.

Best of luck with it!

So, just felt light headed for a bit and had to lie down for an hour. Hopefully that will be the worst of it, and hopefully that too will pass.

And hopefully I’ll live longer. Yay!
