Hi, Thanks for replying...He did test my throid and I don't know if he tested anything else but there was blood work done. Do you know if the XR helps in bringing the hormone level to normal? My peroid is not regular and I have excessive hair and hormone level is on the high side. I am really worried about the hair growth..I would just like to bring that down. I am also on Meridia to lose some weight....It makes me feel nauseous and feel dizzy. I have heard that people who take Glucophage have a lot of side affects.
