I got rid of the hot flashes by going on the pill (Demulen). And I got
rid of the anxiety by going on glucophage and eating low carb (I guess
my anxiety was due to the up and down insulin/glucose levels going on in
my body all day long).
I tried black cohosh a long time ago back in the days when I did not
know I had pcos or even knew what it was. It made me feel worse, but
then again, probably because it was not the answer to the real problems
I was having. If you are already doing all you can with diet and
medication for your pcos, maybe the black cohosh will help you. Can't
hurt to give it a try, right?
