The Glucophage or Metformin(generic Glucophage) can make you not want to eat. It is important that you do though. Taking it and not eating can severly drop your sugar level. If it doesn't go way in a weeks time I would tell my doctor. Did you have this with metformin since they are the same drug?
I've been on theses for 11 years and had the not wanting to eat, runs, upset stomach all that stuff. As far as the runs, the more carbs you have usually the worse it gets. Try to add extra protein in your diet. The more protein you can get the better you can fee.
