I have been vomiting; although this is listed as a side effect it would be useful to hear other people’s experiences

When I first started taking it I had to go to the bathroom a lot and have some upset stomach issues. Remember to take it WITH FOOD. Negative side effects went away in less than 2 weeks for me.

I've been on Metformin for years..the darn doc just keeps upping it. Seriously - I have never really noticed any side effect...other than a wee issue with the sulphur that is in it..P U. - I do always have dry mouth, but didn't realize this was a metformin side effect.

I've been on Metformin for less than a month but my side effects have been extreme thirst and nausea if I don't take it with a glass of milk. I was taking it at night but would wake up so thirstly that I switched to mornings. As long as I take it with milk (or food) I have very few side effects. It also seemed to make me tired at first but that is subsiding.

As u said one of the side effects of metformin is vomiting as it leaves a mettalic taste in the mouth. That is because of the molecular property of the drug. Also one another side effect of metformin is bloating and u wudnt feel more hungry as u used to. As a result of this effect of metformin, many doctors also prescribe it for obesity maagement even in non-diabetics and Gynaecologists use it for their PCOS(Poly cycstic ovarian syndrome) patients.

I have been on Metformin for 3 months. The only side effect I have had is dry mouth. I was on Glucophage once and it made me vomit if I didn't eat something first. You should probably tell your doctor. He/She may need to change your medicine.

Many common natural remedies are claimed to have blood sugar lowering properties that make them useful for people with or at high risk of diabetes. Learn here https://tr.im/rRaPg
A number of clinical studies have been carried out in recent years that show potential links between herbal therapies and improved blood glucose control, which has led to an increase in people with diabetes using these more 'natural' ingredients to help manage their condition.

I have been on it for about six months now and i have had no side effects once so ever. However, my mom she was on it for about a week, if that, and she was nausiated and felt like doing nothing at all.

It once made me itch. The funny thing was, I switched to the generic brand which is actually made by the same company - and I was fine!
