I have been on Metformin for 6-7 months 500mg 2 x daily, and have puffed up like a balloon with significant weight gain of at least 45lbs., no desire to do anything physical as I have no energy,stomach upset and increased bowel movements, flatulence and absolutely no sex drive. I am going to discuss this with my doctor but before I do in their any other medications other then Glipizide for type 2 diabetes? I keep putting on weight like I am my blood sugar will be way out of control.

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,
Val ******
