For Type 2 Diabetes "I have been taking metformin, maximum dose for 8 years. Not working to bring down BS. Doctor put me on glipizide 5 mg in AM & PM. Not helping with BS control at all. Horrible side effects: dizziness, nausea, sore throat, cold symptoms, drowsiness."

For Type 2 Diabetes "After having a severe reaction to Metformin, the doctor put me on Glipizide. While I don't faint on this medication, the side effects have been horrible for me. My sugar does seem to be better after being high for so long, it's finally below 160 most of the time. However, I am severely dizzy and foggy-headed constantly, to the point I stopped driving. I also have a bad lower backache, nausea, and stomach upset any time I eat, blurry vision (I have perfect vision, so this bothers me), and I've noticed some changes in my emotional response to things as well, such as anger and a bit of depression - which I've never had. The effects have been bad enough that I've had to take off work several days in a row as well as miss school."

For Type 2 Diabetes "Works very well in lowering glucose levels; however, significant side effects. Substantial weight gain regardless of diet/exercise, stomach pain, nausea, bloating, burning/tingling sensation in hands/feet, all of which remit when the drug is stopped. I give a rating of 5 due to fantastic effectiveness at lowering glucose, but the side effects can be substantial."
