My dr has me on Metformin. Been on it for years. Since I've been on it, I have noticed that my cysts are, for the most part, under control. Occasionally, I may experience a very painful cyst, but that's maybe once every few months

I’m currently on metformin slow release and I don’t notice much difference. It hadn’t helped with weight lose at all for me. I have insulin resistance so for me I wanted to get a handle on my insulin issues before I ended up pre diabetic. I first tried taking the quick release twice a day metformin and within three days was throwing up the worst I ever had and shaking uncontrollably in bed. It effected me really badly to the point that I had to stop taking it immediately. The slow release has been much better for me so far but I really don’t notice any differences. I also have an IUD if that means anything in this context.
