Raleigh, NC

Good afternoon all,
I’ve had PCOS for the last16 years and have been on 1,000 mg metformin for insulin resistance and Yaz now Nikki birth control to help with my cysts and hormones. Added in lexapro a couple years ago to help with fluctuating high highs and low lows. Is anyone else on this combination or taking any of the 3. I’m now 36 and wanting to know what’s working for others.

I have been having highs and lows because I haven't stepped. High dheas can cause insomnia or sleep issues and anxiety.

TMI: I Have Been On My Period Since 2/21/2023. Kinda Heavy Flow With Blood Clots. Is This Normal?

A myPCOSteam Member asked a question 💭
Anaheim, CA

I got diagnosed with PCOS back in August/September of 2022. I started the DEPO shot around Christmas time of 2022 and started medication, called spironolactone, at the beginning of the year. I had some period cramps the last week of… read more

What has been the best treatment for you all? I’ve had multiple times in life where I am consistent in my healthy diet and exercising but no changes. Do you think things will improve now that I’ve had my nexplanon removed and am currently on metformin?
