Hi I am taken metformin twice a day,morning and evening for 4 years now, i have to see my Dr ,because I go to the bathroom all night long,can't sleep much with pains and aces,I don't know if it is the metformin,?

Hi, I have type 2 and IBS my dr said never take metformin with bowel issues it will only make it worse. Once I stopped Metformin a lot of my IBS-D sorted itself out. I still have episodes but not as bad as when I was on Metfromin hope this helps you. Deb

I take two 1,000 mg in the morning and at night. Never had any side effects
Metformin is being studied as an anti aging drug and an anti cancer supressor.

Since you have IBS, ask your doctor for Metformin extended release. Regular metformin will have you doing the metformin mambo. No fun.

I take 2 in AM and 2 in PM. I do have IBS too. Yet, it has never been a problem with me taking metformin like this.
