Metformin suppresses my appetite so much it gets to the point i don't even feel like drinking water! what should i do? just force myself to drink?

Are you sure : It is metformin and not some other drug? Usual side effect is diarrhea. You need to take some water, otherwise you will get dehydrated fast. If you are sure it is the metformin, ask your doctor to prescribe another medication to take its place.
