Any one who's gone off Metformin . . . how long does it stay in your system?? I know it takes 2 - 3 weeks to kick in when you start taking it, how long does it take to completely leave your system when you stop? Due to my increase in exercise and lowering of carbs I have stopped taking it (2nd day) but feel that kind of weird lowish, head spinny thing.
Metformin should completely leave your system 31 hours after your last dose. One of the side effects of metformin is weight loss, so metformin could have helped you lose some weight.That is great that your blood sugar has normalized. would not recommend that you simply stop metformin. The dosage should be decreased every 5 days or so from 1500 mg daily to 1000 mg daily to 500 mg daily and then no metformin.
