Glyburide/Metform 2.5 Twice a day
2 weeks ago I lost my father, 63 from what the ICU doctors called Lactic acidosis which is addressed in the first line of the "Before taking this medication" section of his prescription. My father was diagnosed with Type 1 about 12 years ago and been managing his blood sugar with 2 insulin shots a day. I'm not sure if it's common to prescribe this drug along with insulin shots for Type 1 patients but it clearly states on the drug website and the precautions it should not be used to treat Type 1 patients. My question to the forum is have you heard of using both to control sugar levels?

Been on ziprasidone for about 5 months, Here's my insight
To give you a hint on how ****ed up i am, I have Schizophrenia, Insomnia, Anxiety, Mood disorders, Bi-polar in particular, and have had all of these for 15 years untill I snapped and had a breakdown. Then i was sent to the hospital.
While at the psych ward, They put me on 80mg of ziprasidone (Capsule form) twice daily, During the second day while my parents came to visit me and bring me food, I started subconsiously holding my breath. I couldn't breath. About twenty minutes later they injected me with an anti-parkinson drug called Benztropine, This made me stop. They lowered me on the dose to 80mg once a day, on which I couldn't really swallow and had horrible headaches and nosebleeds that didn't stop. Later on, I was prescribed Xanax Xr 2mg, That didn't work. Then the pharmacy couldn't get ahold of it. I was put on regular xanax 1mg four times daily. A week later it increased to 8mg daily (2mg every four hours). Along with the xanax i was prescibed Temazepam 15mg at bedtime, that didn't work. The dose later increased to 30mg at bedtime, the sleeping pills onlt worked for about two months and now my psychiatrist is thinking about what i will be put on next for sleeping. And also I am on 1000mg of Depakote.
The nightmare begins when i wake up.
