Wed & Thurs, I try on the new glucophage xr - metformin 500g which I was told to take after food in the morning. My expected worst fears really came. I had chills, coldness, dizziness, diarrhea, gastric, feeling unwell, unable to think straight, extreme confused that it badly affected me at work for these days. Moreover, I experience unusual weakness & fatgue!!
Thurs, I msged DNE Eunice informing her of the side effects & informed Dr Tan. I know Dr Tan & Eunie had my best of interest at heart but choosing between the two, I rather weight gain than to suffer from the side effects.
Eunice replied that so long my glucose under controlled & symptoms free, they're alright with it. As for weight gain, I have to continue with exercise regimen.
Side effects stopping me from going to work today, went see GP. Had a debate with GP then GP mentioned her church friend whom took glucophage xr, initially also unable to tolerate the side effects but knew it's good for her, then she took omeprazole to stop the gastric. GP told me to try it for at least 2 weeks & later said well, it's my choice, can;t force me. Oh ya!! That's why I choose to be back on glipizide 1/2 2.5mg morning & 1 2.5mg evening. I got feddup that I said Why you don't believe me that it's not I want to think of suicide when it's the medicine is controlling my mind!! Then GP kept quiet. WTF!!
Moreover, citing that the symptoms I told her doesn't correspond and the symptoms is what glipizide will have & not the glucophage. BUT THIS IS WHAT AM EXPERIENCING WITH THE GLUCOPHAGE XR!! >_<
