Hi,

I've been very exhausted this week after starting bcp and some medications for acne. I was wondering if this is a common side effect? I usually sleep 8 hrs. a night and exercise 6 days a week, but I feel as if I cannot get enough sleep this week and I'm a little sore. I've been on Met for about three months and I didn't experience any of the nasty side effects that so many women must deal with.

I'm currently taking:
- Metformin (1,000 mg)
- Yasmin
- Aldactone, I believe it is also called Spiro (as in spiroaldactone?)
- Solodyn (a type of minocycline)

I' 5'7 and about 135 lbs. so I would be considered a thin cyster. My main issue with PCOS is acne and irregular periods. Has anyone else experienced these problems with medications?

Thanks for your help!

I was the same as you a thin cycter with only irregular periods and acne. Then the exhaustion came and my pcos symptoms got worse so you may want to talk to your doc about it, as you get older the symptoms may get worse. I noticed mine spike around age 23-24.
