I to have been on Glucophage I started at 1500mg a day along with
spironolactone 100 mg a day since june of this year. I was lucky to see
my cycle come in july & august then it stopped again. I am over weight
and no matter what I seem to do nothing helps. My hair is falling out
by the handfulls and I am so frustrated I just feel like saying forget
it nothing is working nor helping so why bother. But no matter how bad
it gets my ob/gyn tells me to hang in there is will take time and that
they are coming out with new things for pcos very soon. So lets hang in
there.
