I started Metformin about 3 weeks ago and luckily have not had too many side effects, but I have been light-headed since starting it. Anyone else have this side effect? What other side effects have everyone had?

Hi nstauffer327,

I've been taking Metformin for about a month now, I'm on 1500mg a day.
I haven't had any side effects from taking it, this probably isn't a particually useful reply is it, sorry!?! Just bumping it up!!

I'm currently on 1000mg getting ready to move up to 1500mg. I've been taking it for about 2 weeks. The only side effect I had was diarrhea, and it's gone now. Are you on other meds?

I've been on Metformin for 2 months. The only side effects I've had are occasional diarrhea and stomach cramps. I don't think I've ever been lightheaded on it.
