Increase in weight effect of Janumet

Has been converted by metformin, good compatibility, on Janumet. Since then, again and again, slight nausea, uncontrollable bloating, defecation sometimes no longer controllable, more common mild headache, previously completely unknown, gaining weight, increased cardiac arrhythmia, rising blood sugar levels, fatigue, associated with listlessness.

Glimepiride in combination with Siofor had previously been prescribed 1000 mg (one in the morning and one in the evening). – Unfortunately, the Glimepiride caused me but a steady and (in total) from me no longer tolerated weight gain, which is why my doctor then on my strong request after 6 months also (finally) discontinued. – With the Siofor alone, I was pretty good, no side effects, but the values were unfortunately not quite in the normal range, which is why I finally got Janumet, which I have been taking for 3 months now. – Weight loss in this time about 10 kilograms, but I personally write this less the Janumet, as the deposition of glimepiride. – For about 4 weeks, my weight stabilized at 91 kilos (179 cm height) and falls no further, which confirms me in my assumption only. – Side effects of Janumet are clearly mild diarrhea, but not all the time. Occasional (and again slight) dizziness also occurs, as well as a certain slight indifference but nothing dramatic. I’m not getting so excited anymore. I do not want to call it listless, because that does not quite apply. — Disappointing for me is mainly the effectiveness of the (but quite expensive) drug. – My monthly average fell by just 0.6 points on average compared to the one where I had taken only Siofor alone. For me, effort + side effects are actually in an unacceptable ratio to the benefit.
