I have not gotten to that point but I am constantly bloated hours after taking it in the morning and then it goes away. But it is bothersome.
Thank you.

I am 74 and have been on Metformin since 2008 and currently take 50 mg over the maximum of 2500 mg recommended by Merck. That's 850 mg x 3 and it has been fine for me. Metformin is still the most widely used Type II diabetes medicine. Everyone is different and it really is an individual reaction. My A1C is usually 6.8/6.9 and take the drug anywhere from right before eating to 1/2 hour before (so I don't forget!) along with 10 mg Glipizide at wakeup, noon, and supper.
