| Welcome. Yes, many people exhibit exactly those problems when they first start taking met. I had those symptoms for about a month or so when I first started taking it. I am used to it now and no longer have the problems. Other people complain of bad gas but I never got that.
I have read that the ER version of met is not so bad for upsetting the digestion and have seen it reported that when members here got their prescriptions changed to the ER version they experienced relief from the digestive problems. I just waited and kept up with the pills and eventually I seemed to get used to it. Hang in there!
