I started Metformin a few days ago and today I just feel lightheaded and dizzy. Anyone else had this side effect.

That’s very common when you first start taking it. You will be responding better to insulin and your liver will reduce the amount of sugar being released. Have a little carb snack at hand. Your body will soon adjust to it. It’s a brilliant medication.
