Many people start on a low dose and gradually work their way up to the full dose to try and avoid the side effects. I don't know if the met is to blame.
Some women do experience diarrhea with met.
I started having bouts of explosive diarrhea and cramping a lot. Let us know how you're doing. It didn't work. Rx me the Met to talk to her, but the lines are screwed up. I just can't go on like this.
