| Metformin..anyone taking this? Any one on Metformin? I just started taking it today and I think it is killing my stomach...man I am having such an upset tummy. Not nausea or anything just tight feeling. I am not sure if this is one of the side effects or if it will go away as my body gets used to it but was curious if any one else has any advice or info on this drug.

| It is totally a side effect. I couldn't handle it because it gave me severe diarrhea.

It is not that bad .... I mean it is not comfortable but if it passes I know I can ride it out for the end result. I do not want to discourage you from taking it.
