I've heard of some drugs actually producing PCOS in some women. One of the drugs is depakote. A lot of neuorlogists try avoid this anti-epileptic drug in young women based on this reason. It causes weight gain (like most anti-epileptic drugs, except Topiramate), increasing male hormone for hirsuitism and acne. Sounds like PCOS and looks like PCOS? You bet ya! Here's an interesting link... http://www.epilepsy.com/info/women_pcos It says women taking depakote are more risk of having PCOS, claiming it is not an 'enzyme inducing' to lower the male hormones.
