Prescribed for hirsutism due to Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS). After I stopped taking it, hirsutism got worse, foot and leg pain and swelling developed, acne developed. However, after stopped taking it, had weight gain and adrenal levels lower - shouldn't it have been the opposite?

I am writing this for my girlfriend of 10 years who started taking this drug about 3 weeks ago. Over the last four days her behavior has become nothing short of psychotic. She has attacked me physically, she is convinced I am having multiple affairs and she cries hysterically. And she completely denies that this drug has anything to do with her behavior change. What the heck should I do?
I am extremly pleased with the result this medication has offered me.
lack of appetite
Since using this I have used regular lasix less frequently to keep water retention down in other areas (legs)

When I first started taking this med. it was awful. It must have been the drug company but it smelled and tasted like skunk. I recently switched to a different store and it now smells/tastes like breath mints. I take it for hirsutism, and it started working soon after. However I have now been on this constantly for six months and I still have to shave almost daily.

I've been taking this for the treatment of my acne. It got rid of almost all of it. I'm very pleased with it. The only side effect that I had was that I went up 2 bra cup sizes.
