I have just started taking metformin 2 days ago. I also take meds for my restless legs. Since I started taking metformin my rls is worse and I have not slept for two days. Today I could not sit in a chair for a long period of time due to the RLS. Tomorrow I am calling my dr. to get me off it and try something else. I will be walking around like a zombie!!!

Hi, lorri214, go look at my answer in our facebook group. Was dealing with this a couple of weeks ago on a forum, and every diabetes forum has a thread for RLS, and many, many diabetics complain that they feel that the metformin DOES bother their RLS. More details in the other group, so I don't have to type it over again. Donna/USA
