Hello Renee
I have just started Metformin and have been on tegretol in the past. I
am on a different medication (sabril/Lamictol) now but have noticed a
few comments on this board about women with epilepsy and PCOS. DO you
think the two could be related? I have just started searching for
information about this and if anybody can help me i would really like to
hear from you.
Thanks
