How long until my tummy gets used to Metformin?!

I can't take it anymore!! My stomach hurts soo badly in the morning. I have a 45 minute drive to work, and since I've been taking it, I have had to pull over every morning to go to the bathroom. (And I already have IBS...this is making it so much worse!)

I am slowly building up to 3 pills a day. This week (my second week on it) I am taking 2 a day. How long did it take you to get used to it?

For me it took a little longer than usual b/c I was taking the 3 pills a day right from the start, and not only did it upset my stomach, but I was so nauseous all I could do was cry. Once I switchhed to 1 pill/day, then 2 pill/day... it took me about 2 weeks to start feeling better

It took me about 2 weeks to feel better. I'm taking 4 pills a day Chat Icon

Every once in a while I still have an issue, but it will definitely start to fade. Good luck and feel better!

Try taking it at night before bedtime. It worked for me.

It took me a while to get use to. I take 1000 mgs. before I go to bed which helps with the side effects. Maybe try that, hopefully it helps.

I've been taking three pills at night for @ 3 months and still have some problems in the morning. For the rest of the day, I'm fine.

I bumped up in 2 week intervals. It wook a month total to be adjusted to 1500mg. Are you eating (good carb/low fat) when you take it? I found eating and drinking milk with it has made it much easier. Chat Icon Chat Icon

I am so afraid of being sick when I start the metformin... I have IBS and my dr. told me to expect to feel sick..

It wasn't TOO rough for me - maybe a week or 2. Although, every once in a while, I had a icky day.

Hang in there- it will get better!
