I have had a few "Metformin Moments", cramps, wind that a wind farm couldn't handle and then the world falling out of my bottom
. As the others have said, make sure to take it with food, for me that means after eating and not while eating. I have found that I'm more likely to have the "moments" if I don't eat, eat too much or have greasey foods.
It generally does get better. I would agree with Kim about the joint pain, talk to your Doctor about that.
