Have you experienced side effects from Metformin 500 mg 2xDay?

on metformin 500mg twice daily and constantly running to the bathroom to empty my bladder and bowels. Is there something I can take to slow down or stop that problem.

I have oxybutinin which I take when I am out and about but taking it every day is constipating for me. I won't take laxatives but like a high fiber diet. One metformin a day in the evening is adequate for me now that I have so many vegetables in the garden. Try a wide variety and balance your diet nutrients. Eat the protein first and don't eat a snack without protein in it. Think of it as a food adventure rather than an eating problem. Try new fresh foods. I like everything but kale and I am learning to eat baby beets. Plan your days for frequent bathroom trips. It is necessary.

Sorry, @rogerglenn I never had that problem with metformin. I do have frequent bathroom calls but that's just basic incontinence and it wasn't as bad when back when I was taking metformin which was quite a while ago - I'm not saying that metformin helped it, just that my incontinence wasn't bad back then.
