"I have been taking metformin for about 2 months, and for the last 3 weeks, I have been experiencing intense diarrhea. Is this normal?"

Yes, experiencing intense diarrhea as a side effect of taking metformin is normal. It is recommended to stop taking the medication for a few days until the symptoms subside, and then gradually resume taking it up to the target dose over a period of 7 to 10 days.
