Question
Should I take
metformin
along with medications for mental illness?
Answer
I think we need a little more information to answer this question, but, in general, there is no specific
contraindication to metformin (Glucophage) and psychoactive
medications. However, some of the older psychiatric drugs might cause liver
or kidney
impairment that might warrant closer monitoring. Many people who have psychiatric disorders also
have diabetes and are and on medications for both.
