A member asked:
I have anxiety anyway, but just started metformin for pcos. my anxiety was much worse today, is there any association of the two?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: There is no recognized association, so it would be a very unusual side effect. Even the way metformin works pharmacologically "should" not cause anxiety, so it's probably for another reason. Please check with the prescribing physician if you are still worried, good luck!
