It's a very normal side effect, which will pass. And the reason you start small dose to avoid it, but still I get messed up stomach.

You're taking it with food right? Please tell me you're taking it with food? And what does an eighth dose mean? 500 mg? 250 mg? 850?

Yes with food of course.

My goal dose daily is 2000mg (Two 500mg pills morning and dinner)

Atm I only take half a pill in the morning (250mg).

I'm increasing it with a half a pill on monday for dinner, then increase it with half a pill every week until I reach my goal dose.

ER is supposed to have less side effects over regular release.

Just Metformin, and looking up it doesn't seem they use Extended release in Sweden.

So wait, youre maxed out on metformin and made the conscious decision to take 1/8 of your daily dose?

Are you prescribed metformin 250 mg P.O. daily or metformin 1000 mg P.O. BID?

No Im following doctors orders. Start with 250mg a day for a week, then increase with 250mg each week until I reach 2000mg a day (divided into breakfast and dinner 1000mg each).
