Default Met made my all over hair growth worse!

okay so i tested the theory. i was on met for approximetly 4 weeks and my hair growth was out of control, i had to shave legs everyday and wax upper lip twice a week.....Since i've been off of it (for about 1 month) i can shave my legs every other day, and my upper lip once a week - and i could even go longer with the upper lip thing if i wanted to with out feeling like it was really noticeable...

Just wanted to share!

Before you make that decision, you should remember something...the drug is moving your hormones at first and that means symptoms can get worse before they get better and your hormones are righted.

4 weeks is not enough time to get most people's hormones straightened out on the drug. The FAQ thread talks about more like 3-6 months for most people to start cycling and see symptoms subside..for me it was over a year.

So I wouldn't say that because it didn't get better in 4 weeks that the drug failed. It takes time and diet/exercise change of at least 6 months to really see what it can do for you.

Good luck!
