For Polycystic Ovary Syndrome "I've tried it twice before. This time a doctor suggested trying the extended release despite me explaining that my gene test showed that I don't metabolize the drug well. It's been 3 days, and I'm calling it quits. I haven't been able to sleep, my stomach is constantly on fire, and I have extreme food aversions. How does someone have gas, nausea, and diarrhea if they can't eat anything? I'm super bloated and feel like I have the flu. I'm moody and have had 2 panic attacks, which I haven't had in 10 months. It's a no for me."

For Polycystic Ovary Syndrome "It's my 7th day and beginning the new round... I go up from 500 mg to 1,000 mg today. I haven't seen anything as of yet. Maybe some gas. Finally, a doctor has noticed this syndrome, and now being treated. I'm 41, and it should have happened when I was in the 4th grade to at least high school. I have the pimples, had the monthly problems, weight, the horrible hair, and more. I have a lot of hope in this medicine and change in life! I also told 2 of my cousins about it as well."
