Wow that's a lot of meds... When I take meds, I wonder too what else they are doing to my body besides just the thing they are meant to. Have you tried any supplements instead?

VITAMIN B5 (PANTOTHENIC ACID) is to I solved my adult acne problem after a full 15 years of it (always those huge cystic that started out buried in my face, mostly on the chin) purely by accident. About 2 yrs ago I read about how Vitamin B5 can supposedly help regulate cycles in PCOS women so of course i immediately started taking it. Well, it did absolutely nothing for my cycle but it did cure my acne! It took a about a month but it worked.

I know it's the B too because whenever I stop taking it, even for just a few days, I start breaking out. But then the minute I start taking it again, the spots start to go away. And if I somehow let things go so long that I started getting a cystic one, it shrinks immediately and either disappears or comes to the surface instead of sitting there for weeks like they used to.

I don't recom. any particular brand. Just get a quality one, maybe on the high-dose side. I was unable to find just Vitamin B5 so I went to B Complex. The ones I have right now are TwinLab B-100's and I take 2 of them every day. Taking 2 of these gives me 200mg, and I get another 435mg from a multivitamin I take (Thorne Basic V). I like that they are both in a capsule form (with powder inside) b/c I think i tend to absorb supplements better in that form than in a hard vitamin, but that's just me.

I plan to write more about PCOS stuff on my blog when I get to it. I've spent a lot of years researching so I might be able to throw some more ideas out there.
