I just got rx's filled for Yasmin (oral contraceptive, the most anti-androgenic out there that I know of) and Metformin. Just curious if anyone else here has PCOS, and if any of you have been treated with Metformin for it? A friend of mine, and fellow RN, has, and said she had TERRIBLE diarrhea. To the point of being in a pt's room in the ED, and having to bolt out and find the nearest bathroom with the constant fear of pooping her pants. LOL. I laughed at the thought, but cringe at that being myself.
Would just like to know what someone else's experience with this has been BEFORE I start taking it... :) (And I'm waiting until I have a few days off in a row before I start it as well.)
