Ok thanks for the info! Unfortunately, my main concerns with PCOS are anovulation and weight gain (I would say 20-30 pound weight loss is needed). The side effects of Met do not sound pleasant to me, and I would like to avoid them at all possible. What do the other two medications offer in terms of dealing with PCOS symptoms?
