Hi, I'm new here...was diagnosed with PCOS 2 weeks ago while looking for a cure for my persistant acne....I'm in shock, I have regular 30 day cycles, no insulin resistance and am 120 pounds (5'5"). My ultrasound shows mild polycystic appearance AND i have acne and mild hirsuitism. Now i'm on spiro, BC (Yasmin) and Accutane....is that too much medication? Help?

Your doc is the best person to tell you about meds. The ones you are on are for your symptoms, not to treat or "cure" PCOS, so it's up to you what you want to take. Did your doctor talk to you about metformin? Did he/she test you for insulin resistance? It's good that you have normal periods for now.
