Talk your doctor: You are having side effects of metformin discuss with provider about reducing dose or discontinuation.

Listen to doc: Your doc adjusted your dose of medication to the lab results he/she obtained. You need to stay with the dose or visit the doc again and discuss it with him/her. Diet and exercise can help lessen the dose but your doc needs to know. Peace and good health.
