I have recently been diagnosed with PCOS, but my troubles started long ago. I have gained about 26 pounds in the last year. No one told me that Weight gain is a major symptom of PCOS as well as it being very difficult to lose weight.
Has anyone here been diagnosed with PCOS and taken Phentermine?
Yes, I also have PCOS, and I was gaining weight not knowing why. I was on Phen but stopped taking it because it lost its effectiveness. So, I took Glucophage, it has helped my period become normal for the first time in my life. Don’t let PCOS get you down.
i also have PCOS and the weight gain that goes with it with in 1 year i gained 59 pounds and my dr told me i need to have gastric bypass surgery to loose the weight but i did not have that surgery and he will not put me on any med either i also have other side effects with the PCOS such as abnormal hair growth hot flashes abnormal peroids and alot of pain
Hi.
I also went through something similar. Gaining weight, finding out I have PCOS. The specialist put me on Metformin, and this did the trick, although it took me a long time to get used to. I lost weight (with no effort), if you want to call being sick all the time and having no appetite because everything turns your stomach no effort lol.
All the best.
