The medications you've been given "mask" the symptoms of PCOS rather then treating the cause which is usually being IR. Treating symptoms rather then causes is a common practice of the medical profession. THE CAUSE would be best addressed by taking Met. You are on the right track and should find another Dr on "your" track. This is not to say treating symptoms is wrong and may even be absolutely needed but should not exclude treating the cause. One thing you need to be aware of is taking a diuetic and having low blood pressure can lead to fainting so please be careful.

good luck

I remember earlier threads on Spiro but I did'nt pay too much attention to those as I was hoping to be prescribed Met. Anyway when I did some checking on Spiro, it turns out its a diuretic and prescribed to those with aldosterone disorder. I know lots of cysters are having Spiro but I'm really confused about the connection with PCO? Is there a subset of PCOers who shud have Aldactone? My blood pressure stays on the lower side as a matter of fact. Wud really
