Metformin does have some fairly common side effects, mostly gastrointestinal. For some people these do subside as their bodies adjust. However, you are on a relatively low dosage so if these don't subside soon I'd see your doctor and perhaps he will switch you to something else. But I'm wondering also if some of the effects you are experiencing are caused by blood sugar fluctuations, especially feeling confused and weak and shakey.

Hm, so you are diagnosed as PCOS or they just started the metformin for the reason of the adrenal gland issue? I'm trying to understand. LOL I know things that affect any part of our hormonal system will result in some mood changes. Are you taking the metformin as they intended? Have they also considered clomid?

NO side-effects from Metformin - Lucky you!

All of your advice is greatly appreciated. Unfortunately I took it upon myself to stop taking Metformin. My side effects were increasingly getting worse, I even started losing hair. I decided to listen to my body. We have a meeting with our re on June 2nd. Maybe they can put me on something else. I was still only taking one pill I can't imagine what my body would have done if I had worked up to taking 4 a day. It was very scary. Again, thanks for all the input!!!

Metformim is a medication used to control or prevent the onset of diabetes and/or regulate blood sugar and this is how it helps with these potential side effects of Zyprexa but you could discuss the specifics with your psychiatrist. What you describe are potential side effects of concern from Metformim so you should inform your psychiatrist.
