Suggest Treatment For Fatigue And Excessive Sleepiness While On Metformin
I am taking metformin for my polycystic ovarian syndrome. I am experiencing extreme tiredness and drowsiness. I usually sleep from approx. 10-6, but after taking metformin, I am sleeping from 10-10. It is very hard to wake up. Is this a normal side affect?

Hi,
This is not normal. It could be because of other hormones getting involved usually the thyroid so I advise you to get a check-up for the same.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
