I was diagnosed with PCOS after I went off the pill. I went off the pill because I would have debilitating cramps in my calves, particularly my left one. They were incredibly severe, i would often drop to the floor, drool and scream. I would nearly loose control of my bowels. Thankfully, they never happened at work. They always happened the week after my period. I went off the pill and I haven't had them since.
I am on Glucophage XR now, and the main side effect I have besides manageable GI issues is that i have restless leg type-stuff at night and sometimes during the day. Does anyone else have RLS-type symptoms? My doctors said tremor can be a side effect and that RLS is in that category. Nothings seems to work to help me lay still and sleep. my husband says my legs twitch all through the night.

If you're getting side effects, try adding vitamins or maybe ask your doctor if you can drop your dosage. With 1000 mg. I seem to still be getting the same benefits. |
