Default Medications to reduce facial hair

The only time I discussed my "hair" problem with my doc, the only option she came up with was that cream Vaniqua. I tried it and it only slowed it down, not get rid of it. Anyone out there - what *could* my doc prescribe to get rid of the hair? (I need to go back and want to have some suggestions to take with me)

Aldactone is the most widely Rx'd to slow the hair growth (it's pill).

Many cysters also find success with Flutamide (also a pill)

Neither drug can be used if you are TTC.

I've been taking Evening Primrose Oil for a while now, and my hair growth is defienetly getting slower/easier to control. I've tried some depilatories, but they don't seem to work on me... but shaving has been much easier!
