kristie, they will get worse if you increase your dose before your body has adjusted to the current dose. Your doctor may have given you a schedule for increasing the dose, but if your body isn't ready for an increase, then there's no point going for one, take it slower if necessary and you'll have a much better go of it.

Other things you may find - certain foods often disagree with metformin, and that food can be different for different people. The one thing I did find, especially in the early days, is that it didn't mix well with a high-carb meal. If I was going to have pasta for dinner, I sure suffered for it later on!

hang in there!
