When I started I had alot of gastrointestinal problems. They seemed to get better after a couple of weeks. After a month, it was increased and I started to feel sick all the time. I thought perhaps it had built up to a high level in my system so skipped a dose. This AM I took a dose with a meal, within two hours my hear was rapidly beating and I felt as if I could not catch my breath. I looked up the side effects here and I am having quite a bit of them. I am not sure what I am going to do. I can't be sick all the time. I am going to back off the dose and try to do this with diet. My rapid heart beat woke me up. Very scary. Here is a link to the side effects. http://www.webmd.com/drugs/mono-7061-ME TFORMIN+-+ORAL.aspx?drugid=11285&drugname=Met formin+Oral&pagenumber=6

Began with 1 a day, then 2, then 3, then 4, back to 3 where I am now. This occurred over a 10 year period. Glyburide was added beginning with lowest dose, then 5 mg. where I am now - for the past 2 years.
