Weight loss and meds

Hey, I'm 18 yrs old and desperate to find some help, since I've been diagnosed I have tried every diet under the sun and never lost more than a few pounds before putting on more than I started with, it's got to the point where I'm so down I need to find something that will work, I've read that metformin helps ?

If anyone has any tips for things that work it would greatly appreciated!

hi hun, i know how you are feeling and im in your exact position. i am 19 years old and only been diagnosed a few months with polycystic ovaries and it is one of the hardest conditions ive had to live with a long side hypothyroid. my doctor put me on Xenicol for my weight and i found it helped me for a few months and i lost nearly a stone in weight. unfortunatly i had to stop the medication as it wasnt going well with my levothyroxine for my thyroid, but if you only have polycystic ovaries and no other heaalth problems. its worth asking your doctor to start you on  3 month course and see how you.

keep me posted :)
