Weird side effects with metformin? Dose too much at once?

For 90 days I was on 1000 mgs of metformin a day. Becuase it made me feel so terrible, my OB told me to take both tablets at night so I would be asleep during most of the dizziness and nauseousness. This worked for me. I didn't ovulate within that 90 day period, so she called me in provera and upped my dosage of metformin to 1700 mgs a day (2 850mg tablets). She wants me to be on this dosage for 30 days and then review my chart and meet with my husband and I about prescribing clomid if i don't ovulate. Does this all sound like your experiences? I know some doctors are quicker to prescribe Clomid, mine is very concerned about the multiple birth side effects. Anyhow...my question: Last night, I was up most of the night with what felt like hallucinations. I took all 1700 mgs with dinner. I was restless, sweaty and just plain miserable. I finally fell asleep at 5 this morning. Is 1700 mgs too much to take at once? Does anyone have experience with this?

I take it that you are PCOS and wanting to get pregnant... http://www.ovarian-cysts-pcos.com/glucop... indicates some of the side effects. Review carefully any other drugs you might be taking to include over the counters and/or herbal/natural drugs as this drug does have a history of interactions with other drugs. It also is contraindicated in people with pituitary abnormalities so make sure to ask about that as that is also linked with PCOS. Good luck and CALL your MD

Call your DR.Now dont put up with that for a nother night....call your DR. office right now......
