A member asked:
Recently stopped 1500mg of metformin a day without tapering. am now constantly dizzy and bordering on fainting. how can i fix it if they are related?

Family practice : Why did you stop it. If no reason you could take 500 mg a day. Discuss this with your dr . Not sure if its withdrawal or elevated blood sugar.

Your blood sugar?: The only way they would be related is if your sugar has sky rocketed. Can you measure it?
