Default Invokana

Hi! I currently take 1,000 mg Metformin 2x daily, and the side effects are just horrific. I have a doctor's appointment within the next few days and would like to know your experience. Thanks in advance.

Welcome to the Forum!

Read through the first three threads in the Type 2 Section, when you get a chance, if you have not already done so. These threads will most-likely help you a lot. Self education is one of the keys to successful management of your diabetes, along with a healthy / sensible diet and exercise. Basically, diabetes requires a life-style change for the better. Good luck with your control and management.

Took Invokanna and had some issues. First was low BP. Have to be careful with getting dehydrated. Second was a rash which developed. Doc said he had other patients with same problem. Switched to farxiga, no more rash but still had low BP problem. Always feeling tired. May be OK for others, but not for me!

I took Invokana. My doctor said I'd urinate a lot, and told me to stay hydrated by drinking lots of water. Instead I felt no need to urinate no matter how much water I drank. That can't be good. I stopped taking it.

I've been taking it now for nearly 4 weeks- yeah for me it's working with my Toujeo- I run 500/600 in my BS levels and now it's 90 /200
How long have you been on it?
