Hello, in april 2001 I started on Glucopage XR (1,000mg 1st week,then increased to 1,500,then by October 2000mg), by September I've lost 30lbs, tetosterone levels decreased, which it's good but AF came only 2 times and last between 40 to 45 days each one.
By august I had a CBC and it showed that I have High Platelets, not only that, also it showed that the AST(SGOT) and ALT(SGPT) (liver function) is high as well, does these abnormal results have anything related to GLugophage.
Now I'm off Glucophage XR, I'm still waiting to see an especialist and find out what's going with my liver functions.
At this point I'm very dissapointed and my last AF last 42 days, tomorrow I'll see my new primary physician ( the previous one) closed her practice) which it delayed my visit to a an especialist.I hope that the damages in my liver are not as bad as I think.
Does anyone have experience this? will herbs and natural medicine could be my next step? .
Any comments or similar experiences will be greatly appreciated,I hope that I could still have hope to continue taking care of PCOS without having side effects.
Thanks,
Betsi
