Anyone on Metformin XR?
I took this about a year ago, with no stomach side effects. I'm not sure how or why or when I stopped taking it...just sort of quit gradually for no real reason.
I've put on over 20 pounds in the last year, so I thought it was worth starting it up again. I still had some meds left, that are good through the end of this year. Anyway, I have had diarrhea issues like I did when I took the regular Metformin years ago! And I didn't think that was supposed to happen on the XR...it didn't happen when I was on it last year.
I also take plaquenil for a lupus-type disorder. It has stomach trouble as a side effect, but it's always been minimal. Perhaps my body just can't handle both meds together?
It's just weird to me that I'm sick on the Metformin XR now when I wasn't before...so I thought I'd ask about others' experiences. Thanks!
