Re: question about anticonvulsants such as Depakote and PCOS (also new to this list) and metformin alternatives From: Victoria (anonymous@obgyn.net) Wed, 30 Jan 2002 20:31:29 -0500 Messages sorted by: [ date ][ thread ][ subject ][ author ] Next message: Ginger: "Re: metformin- does it help weight loss" Previous message: Lauree: "Ok I need help about this prolactin stuff" Maybe in reply to: julie: "question about anticonvulsants such as Depakote and PCOS (also new to this list) and metformin alternatives" Hi Belle, I think that in Dr. Speroff's book on "Clinical Gynecologic Endocrinology and Infertility", published in 1999 by Lippincott, Williams & Wilkins, (and I suspect his Contraception book, its been a while since I read it) that he states that BCP do not always show a decrease in glucose metabolism. I would also suggest that one of the Australian studies I have seen on the subject said that 2 out of 16 subjects got diabetes, but it does not state how they controlled the study so that they proved whatever pills they were on gave them the diabetes. -- Victoria > From: anonymous@medispecialty.com (Belle) > Subject: Re: question about anticonvulsants such as Depakote and PCOS (also new to this list) and metformin alternatives > Message-ID: <200201302239.g0UMdc600345@mail.medispecialty.com> > > I do not understand why you are so upset with your doctor who prescribed > the Depakote and not the one who prescribed the BCP.
