Hello All. I am about to start taking GLUCOPHAGE XR and was wondering if anyone using this drug had any side effects and basically any information about the drug that you think might be helpful to mention. I am not diabetic I am taking the drug for symptoms from polycystic ovary disease. Thanks!

All drugs have side effects for certain people. We are all different. But lots of people take this medication without problems. Here is the drugs.com information on Glucophage. Hope this helps. God bless.

Hi Murray,

I also took Glucophage but for a fertility issue. It made me incredibly nauseous every day and they had to lessen my dose. I am sensitive to medication but my fertility doc said that it has that effect on a lot of patients.

I will tell you this, if I didn't eat any sugar or carbs it was a lot better. Try cutting down to begin with and if you do get nauseous maybe try cutting back even more.

It really helped my PCOS, which I also suffer from, so I was able to have a baby so in my opinion it was worth it. I had a "no morning sickness pregnancy" so I guess it was all fair!

Good Luck
