Amaryl (glimepiride) "I have had the Amaryl, and after 4 months my love life was gone, and another person that I know, he had the same problem. He is still using Amaryl, and now even Viagra doesn't work anymore."

"By taking Actos and insulin, my sugar is about 175 in the morning, but when I take only a 2 mg glimepiride at night, my sugar is 99 to 108. Just great. I'm 74 years young. Thank you."

"Rather than reduce my blood sugar, this stuff actually caused a 150-200 point increase over the time that I took it. Needless to say, I'm back to glyburide for much better control."

"This seems to be working to an extent. Metforman was not for me. It did nothing on me. Not saying Metforman doesn't work because to many people use it with success."
