Metformin Hydrochloride and medication

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..

i'm taking this medication because I'm Diabetic. Is it suppose to have me gain weight? I'm also taking Diovan and Actos since this past May and I've notice the weight gain. I've been on Glyburide and Norvasc for quite sometime and it hasn't made me gain weight. Can these first 3 medications (Metformin, Diovan and Actos) be substituted with medications that doesn't make me gain weight. I'm reaching close to 160 lbs. when I weighed 143 lbs. for the longest time and was doing good losing more.

Thank you,

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
