I'm on Glucophage XR now as I couldn't take regular Metforimn for this reason. I couldn't even take the generic version of XR, Metformin XR. I know all the generics are supposed to be the same as the name brand(glucophage), but don't believe it. I had some generic brands that were better for me than others and some I couldn't take at all. They all affected my blood sugar differently also. I also agree with the others on taking it after a meal. I also find that if I have a meal heavy in carbs I have gas and diarrhea issues and BEER is the worst.
