Default VERY dizzy!!! From prometrium or Glucophage?

The last couple of days I have been getting VERY VERY dizzy after taking my pills. I am currently taking 200mg of prometrium w/lunch & dinner to trigger AF along with taking 500mg of metformin with lunch/dinner. I think the prometrium is what is making me dizzy b/c I have been taking metformin for over 2 weeks now with NO side effects. Should I be concerned? What should I do to alleviate the dizziness? I feel like I have been drinking a few glasses of alcoholic beverages. I am not fully "drunk" but feel VERY tipsy. Anyone else have those feelings from prometrium?

yes! when i took prometrium for the first time, i got dizzy pretty quickly after that. i was at my parents' house and had to wait to drive home because i was so off balance. i wouldn't worry. it's a possible side effect of prometrium and as long as it passes, i'd just lie down and wait. inconvenient, but common. i'm not on met or glucophage, so i can't tell about that, but i got "tipsy" too!

Do you have to take it during the day could you take it at night before bed and then sleep it off?

I have to take it twice a day....200mg each time so I'm stuck taking it either in the morning or afternoon and then again at night before bed. I only need to take about 5 days worth though to trigger AF and I am already on the 4th day anyways. The dizziness started the second day I took it.

At least you are almost done taking it and hopefully the dizziness goes away pretty fast once it is gone.
