Ladies,

I have to say that I totally understand not wanting to take more medication than your on, but if you are having sever depression, you may need to use medication for a while. I had to, I could not function as an employee, let alone have any life with my family. I was only on for about 3 months and so far have not needed more medication. If you really having problems, don't rule out help. We have enough to battle with PCOS as it is.

I hope this will help if you are fighting this battle. Keep in mind that it is up to you. If you absolutley do not want medication than don't take it. Just remember that it is an option.
