Metformin Hydrochloride and diarrhea

I took Metformin two years ago when i was trying to get pregnant. I have PSOS and i think the meds helped. I have an 11 month old. The Dr. put me back on Metformin 1000mg twice a day to help me lose the baby weight. So far i have not lost any weight but i don't take the meds regularly either due to the severe diarrhea. I normally take 1 pill once a day instead of twice.

I have been on 1500 mg. a day of Metformin. It makes me stay away at night. My muscles hurt a lot. I try to walk but it seems like i don't have any of the energy i used to. There is also bad diarrhea. I am trying to conceive my first child right now. But it feels different to be on this medication. But I am going to stick with it.

I have only been on Metformin 4 days now....I have had really bad diarrhea.reading everyone's side effects makes me wonder if I should really be taking this...I'm taking this medication for PSOS..

It caused nausea and diarrhea

I took Glucophauge (Metformin) with fertility treatments, when trying to conceive my first child. I got pregnant. I am now on it again trying to conceive for the second time. I have noticed that as long as I remain on a strict low-carb diet (like South Beach type) I do not experience any side effects. If you eat too many carbs you can definitely get diarrhea or vomiting!

If someone can answer this question for me that would be very appreciated.

1. Does this med cause weight gain?
2. Does this Poloystic Hormon Syndrome ever cure, does is cause infertility?
I'm trying to have a child, and i'm concerned about that issue.

The only side affect i have was diarrhea.....It hasn't continued, but sometimes a little gas.

I have had severe boughts of diahrrea. I never noticed a problem until my doctor put me on lisonpril along with metformin and flouxetine. I was diagnosed with polycystic ovarian syndrome and was placed on metforming and flouxetine and now the doctor was concerned with my blood pressure fluctuating to the higher side and so he suggested the bp medication. I talked with the doctor about this diahrrea and they suggested I take my meds at a different time during the day and for a week and see if there is a change? If anyone else has had diarrhea like severe, please contact me
