I am 60 and have been taking Janumet 50/500 twice a day since September 2009. I have had no side effects with drug like I did with Metformin (it was very bad for me). I have missed doses or have been late taking my evening dose by 5 or 6 hours with no side effects like some have listed below. All in all it has been a positive experience with my sugar levels dropping significantly below the Metformin levels.

I'm taking 500/50Mg. I'm 24years old, this is my 7th day with Janumet and it has helped lower my sugar levels, but I have upset stomach and before I go to bed I feel a little dizzy (my sugars are okay though). I'm going to keep on taking the pill for a few more weeks.

I had bad side effects from this medicine. I had nausea, headache and dizziness almost daily since taking Janumet. Thinking my body would adjust I kept taking it for about 6 months. Since I stopped it 2 weeks ago the nausea, headache and dizziness has stopped. I will have to get "real" with myself and do diet and exercise.

It has helped a lot. I take 1000mg and my blood sugar has been in the normal range more consistently. 79 -173, a few 187-193, however it has made me feel all around better.

This drug really works, but you should be careful if you excersize or somehow get busy and forget to take a lunch/snack break while at work. I recently had an exprerience where I was backed up at my job working at a steel mill and experienced dizziness, rapid heartbeat, "the shakes" etc. I recognized the symptoms as low blood sugar and immediatly stopped and drank a low glucose energy drink. My symptoms went away after 10 minutes. So be aware.

IT'S A GOOD DRUG THAT DOES A GOOD JOB LOWERING MY BLOOD SUGAR. I TAKE 1000 MG 2X A DAY, AND TRY TO EXERCISE SOME DAILY. I STILL HAVE SOME GAS PROBLEMS, AND SOME DIAHARREA.
