You should go on a low carb diet and check into some herbs and vitamins
for hormone balance. Your hormones are off track and that is why you
are depressed and having to take all of that prozac and other pills. I
have pcos and I am 22. I treat my pcos with vitamins and herbs. I
takes these:
Don Quai - for reproductive health
False Unicorn Root - Ovarian Health
Red Raspberry - for hormone balance
Folic Acid - for woman's health
Cromiuim - stablizing metabolism
If you are more interested e-mail me at n_shook@hotmail.com.
