Medication

ACT-METFORMIN - 500 MG - This is what I take for my diabetes and the side effect is debilitating, my back is constantly in excruciating pain. Does anyone have a suggestion for other medication with less side-effects.

  1. That is so unfortunate to hear that you are experiencing such extreme side effects; have you brought this up with your doctor yet? We cannot, unfortunately, recommend any medications for you. We wish we could do more to help, but do hope you receive some responses from the community. Please let us know what your doctor says, and keep us posted on how you are feeling. -Ashlen, Type2diabetes.com community moderator
