REPORT

Metformki is NOT a benzodiazepine, It's an oral hypoglycemic (blood sugar lowering agent). I take it and when I realize by blood glucose was getting too low, I called my Endocrinologist as decreased the dose from 1g BID to 500mg BID. o withdrawal symptoms, BUT this might be because I'm on a baseline 24 hours insulin, Lantus. I've never heard of a withdrawal syndrome with Metformin, but I'm a shrink. Call your Endocrinologist.
