What Causes Nausea And Abdominal Pain After Taking This Dosage Of Galvus?

I USE DIAMICRON MR 60GR AS WELL AS GALVUS MET 50MG/1000MG FOR DIABETES. I HAVE BEEN ON THIS PRESCRIPTION NOW FOR 4 MONTHS. AFTER I EXPERIENCED INCREASING SIDE EFFECTS OVER THE LAST COUPLE OF DAYS I HAD A CLOSER LOOK AT MY MEDICINE AND DISCOVERED THIS MORNING THAT THE CHEMIST ISSUED ME WITH GALVUS MET 50MG/850MG INSTEAD OF 50MG/1000MG. I USED THIS INCORRECT GALVUS NOW FOR ABOUT 10 DAYS.APART FROM UNACCEPTABLE CHEMICAL REACTION IN MY EYES, NOSE AND MOUTH, OTHER SIDE EFFECTS LIKE NAUSEANESS, ABDOMINAL PAIN, AND SYMPTOMS OF LOW BLOOD SUGAR ARE INCREASING DAY TO DAY, WHILE BLOOD SUGAR MONITORING INDICATES LEVELS OF BETWEEN 6 AND 7.I DO NOT KNOW WHAT THE REASON IS TO TAKE GALVUS MET, WERE NEVER HAPPY USING IT AND BELIEVE THAT THE MAJORITY OF MY SIDE EFFECTS ARE CAUSED BY IT.AT THIS STAGE I DO NOT SLEEP WELL, DO NOT EAT WELL, CAN T DO MY WORK PROPERLY AND ARE BECOMING IRRITATED WITH EVERYBODY AND EVERYTHING AROUND ME.COULD THIS SIDE EFFECTS BEEN CAUSED BY THE SAID WRONG DOSAGE OF GALVUS MET AND/OR SHOULD I CONSULT MY DOCTOR TO PRESCRIBE SOMETHING ELSE?
