overdose
My grandma recived glyburide thanks to a pharmacy screw up. She is NOT diabetic at all, she was suppoed to get a drug for incontenance, so she took the stuff not realizing, because the pharmacy never noticed that she had never had this drug before and never went over the proceedures regarding it, for about a week, then subsiquently fell into two diabeitc type comas and is now apparently brain damaged, its like she has sudden onset dementia, (she was compleatly normal before taking glyburide) within days she was compleatly confused and thought she was still in the 1930's, now she thinks shes in the late fourtys or early fifties.

what i would like to know is if anyone else knows of similar overdose cases, wheather diabetic or not, and if the person has ever recovered. this whole thing happened the last week of august. and i am still in agony and have a huge sence of loss for my grandma, i was robbed, only she's still alive and somewhat well.... the bright side is she's forgotten all the foods she never liked and is eating very well these days!

thanks in advanced.....even if the news is bad.

Glyburide Symptoms
I am a new Glyburide user. Took my first 5mg pill 7 hours ago. Woke up this morning with chest pain, especially with deep breathing. Is this a common symptom for a new user. Blood sugar is 101.

weight gain with Glyburide
I am unhappy with the weight gain since starting Glyburide approx. 5 years ago. Recently my doctor recommended that I try going without G. for a while and see what happens. After only 2.5 weeks and no other changes in diet or exercise I have lost 4 lbs. That makes me happy BUT the other side of the story is that my blood sugers are much higher which is NOT good. Has anyone tried something else that works like G. but without the weight problem?

weight gain with Glyburide
I have not started taking Glyburide yet. The doctors have changed my medications so much it is hard to remember what I have taken. I don't know anything about glyburide and was hoping to find more info here. I am worried about the weight gain because I have gained a total of 63 pounds with the different medications they have put me on. Not on a specific diet because I can't keep anything down thanks to the glucophage I was taking. If you know of any other meds better than this one that do not cause weight gain please let me know.

Glyburide not lowering blood sugar
Blyburide has controlled my blood sugar for several years now. I recently had to increase my dosage to 2.5 MG prior to each meal (three times daily) and it doesn't lower my blood sugar. Could I have developed a tolerance for Glyburide to the point that it doesn't affect my blood sugar? I recently had stones removed from my prostate and changed blood pressure medication.
