Re: Stop Taking Med

[Guest guest]

Deb, I have been keeping track of my numbers but thanks for reminding

me. It's still down, almost normal, without the meds.

I was feeling better til I got sick...blah blah blah...I started taking

the advandamet again. My sister thinks I should give it a chance. So, I

took it this morning and will see what it does to my bg's.

I felt really bad the first 6 wks or so on Avandamet. I felt

depressed and teary-eyed and my body ached. Don't know how much of

the body aches were from the Avandamet, but I (after start/stopping

for a few wks) decided to try it consistently for a while. I'm

feeling better and my sugar hasn't been over 150 since Christmas.

I also read from the package insert that it takes several weeks to

reach maximum effects from the drug. Takes a while to build up in

the system. Very glad to have it, now that my body's adjusted.

HTH,

Debi

Debi, Thanks for letting me know that it takes a few weeks to build up

in your system. I took the advandamet yesterday morning and again this

morning and my bg's are down in the 100s now. I guess the second time

around worked for me too.
