Default weening myself off medications? its like my bodys addicted?

2 years ago my endo told me that met had regulated my hormones and that I was to go off spiro and stay on bcp and that I need not see her until I wanted to be pregnant. So when I went off spiro my hair started thinning. I was on 100 mgs and really do want to ween myself off bcp and spiro. My doctor suggested I cut down slowly, so I am on 75 mg this month then 50 then 25 and so on. Did anyone else have problems going off the spiro or were told the met had regulated them when it hadnt? I have been on the spiro again for about 3 months and my hair is just starting to come back. I am not overweight and so many people seem to be doing well on metformin alone, i would like to be one of those people. I would like to regain any normality that I can. an u/s a few months ago also stated my ovaries were clear although that could be due to the bcp.

I know spiro is not a drug you can stay on forever, but I would think your doc would want you to stay on it as long as it's helping and you are not TTC.

I had to go on Spiro, as the Met was not controling my test. well enough.
