Hi all,
I just had my dose of met upped from 500 to 850 a day. last night I took my first dose of it and I felt so jittery! This happened a little bit when I first started met, but nothing like this. I couldn't sleep, and I had a couple of heart palpitations, which were more like little "flutters." I think perhaps I had some type of hypoglycemic reaction. I got up and had a glass of milk and a mini peanut-butter cup, and felt a little better after about 20 minutes. I don't know if it made much of a difference, I was very nervous still but I was able to get to sleep finally. Anyway, I am still feeling jittery 20 hours after having taken the pill, and I have to take my next dose in 4 hours, and I'm just hoping it doesn't get worse than it was last night. I read that this is my body adjusting to the meds and the insulin differences, but I haven't read anything on this forum from people who have experienced similar symptoms. Has anyone else experienced something similar on Metformin, and, if so, is there anything I can do to alleviate these symptoms?
Knowing myself, I will feel a million times better if I can just get a few replies from people, saying they've had the same experience on Met and they lived to tell about it :-D
