Depression from Metformin!

Posted by sheilac on September 30, 2011, at 15:56:19

I do not have diabetes, but I have been told that I could possibly be pre-diabetic and since I am taking Geodon my doc gave me Metformin as well. Said it couldn't hurt.
Well, after weeks of feeling so depressed and emotional I stopped taking the Metformin and the depression has gone away.
Why would Metformin cause depression? Is it making my blood sugar level too low and that would cause mood issues?
I don't want to get diabetes from taking Geodon and had no other issues with Metformin, but I can't take the depression it doles out!
Anyone know?
