Metformin Users

Did you feel extremely bloated when on the Met?

I had no symptoms at all with the Met for the first week (one pill at dinner) and I moved to two pills last Friday (breakfast and dinner) and still felt fine.

I'm supposed to move to three pills on Friday, but the last 24 hours or so I feel so bloated and nauseous. I feel like if you stuck a pin in my belly it would pop.

And of course with this I look preggo and I've been feeling sick the last two mornings so three people have asked me if I'm pregnant!!

Just wondering if the rest of you had felt this.

I take 3 pills of metformin a day. (started taking the med at the end of Jan) I am on quite a few different meds so I am not sure which one makes me bloated more but....yes I have looked pregnant for quite some time. It's very upsetting when people ask !

I was on metformin for a while. 3 pills a day and it actually made me feel the opposite. I noticed my bloating went down and I felt much thinner than usual. I guess everyone is different.
