Any advice? Anyone know of medicines that don't upset your stomach, or cause headaches?

there are quite a few but have you taken it for a week. it will mess you up for abit of time didn't the doc tellyou that. well try it for at least a month that is why you need to get system used to it and maybe you will be ok. I take 2000 a day but use the generic one its cheaper. does the same thing. alot of medicines have to be taken for abit to get rid of the problems you mentioned and you have to be patient. if it keeps up after 3 to 4 weeks and then tell the doc to change it.

I'm a 45 year old woman and was recently diagnosed as being a borderline diabetic. My doctor prescribed some medication, but before filling it I decided to do some research on the internet which led me to the methods. After reading this ebook and applying the methods, my scepticism turned to 100% belief. I noticed that my energy levels increased significantly and I felt more rested in the morning, my symptoms started going away.
I am very happy to tell you that I have been feeling better than I have felt in years and my doctor informed me that he will be taking me off my prescriptions if I keep this up.
I recommend you use the Type 2 Diabetes Destroyer to naturally reverse your diabetes.

hi. im also a diabetic type II, and im taking the same medication.
is that 1000mg per meal or for the whole day?
what my doctor suggested was that I take 500 mg during breakfast and another 500 mg at dinner.
maybe this may help you, since i know it someimtes give you a mild headache. so far, its been working fine with me.
as for substitute, im not sure there is an available subtitute.
good luck. i know it may be a bit difficult, but it will get better.
:)

I took Metformin for three years and the symptoms never let up. Diarrhea, stomach upset and indigestion just continued to get worse. I continued to take Metformin because it increased my energy level and other than the stomach upset I felt tons better. After three years of trouble though, that was enough. I now take Byetta and I love it because it took away my incredible appetite and I am now losing weight.

I am taking the same along with others. Try to stick with it. The side effects won`t be so bad after a while. If that`s what the Doctor prescribed it must be the most effective with your blood sugar levels. Good Luck

A lot of people have trouble with glucophage! I'm lucky, I don't.
Try taking it with food. If that doesn't work, there is a time-release version called glucophage XR (I think) that is easier to handle because it goes into your blood little by little. If that doesn't work there are other drugs, but glucophage works really well so try the other things first.

You don't mention how long you have been taking the Glycophage. Make sure you give your body enough time to get used to it. You should be talking with your doctor about any side effects and how long they are expected to last.

Just try taking half of a pill. If it makes you worse try taking two pills.
