Elk Grove, CA

Is anyone prescribed aldactone? Mine has a minty taste to it and the thought of it makes me sick to my stomach so im unable to take it!

A myPCOSteam Member

Mine also has a minty taste. Perhaps try taking it with something like orange juice, so it’ll most likely cancel any other flavors.

I suffer from huge ups and downs with depression and my mother wants me to take something for it and I used to take Wellbutrin but I felt it didn't work, i was hoping that maybe anyone might be taking something like it and wanted to know if it is helping you.

I take 100mg sertraline tablets for my depression, but it was diagnosed before I was diagnosed with PCOS.
I'm also on 500mg metformin twice a day and simvastatins, 20mg.

Has Anyone Been Successful With Regrowing Scalp Hair?

A myPCOSteam Member asked a question 💭
Utah

What product did you use? (That helped the most) and if it was by mouth, did it affect growth of other body hairs?

A myPCOSteam Member

Have you tried taking aldactone and the birth control pill? Both will help with hairless but it will take a few months to work
