You definitely need to be getting different treatment. Please go to: http://www.pcosupport.org/PCOSinfo/treatment.html and read about the treatment options that are available. Also, if you go here: http://www.pcosupport.org/PCOSinfo/beginner.html there are lots of documents you can download and print out if you need to take them with you to see your doctor. This syndrome is more than just not having a period. Long term risks include, diabetes, heart disease and endometrial cancer. Here are some links that may also be of interest to you:
