diabeitc metformin twice a day x2 tablets legs feel shaky

[gordie1]

Hi there I am on the first day of taking 2 metformin at once and worrying if this is ok I am supposed to be on 2000mg a day and doc says to take 2 at dinner time and 2 at lunch time. I took 2 at teatime and my legs feel really heavy and shaky and I am really worried now I have quite bad anxiety at the moment but never had legs that felt like lead before I am putting 2 and 2 together and making either 4 or 29

Well I've never heard of getting heavy and shaky legs when taking Metformin so I would doubt it's that :)

The dose your doctor has put you on is the standard dose for diabetes 2. Both me and my partner are on that dose and have been for many years :)

Do you think it could possibly be where you're worried about taking the new dose and that's making your anxiety and panic rise???

Try to relax and not worry so much, you'll be fine on that dose and see how you feel then :)
