Hirsutism advice. Vitex? Myo-inositol?

Hi!

I´ve been struggling with hirsutism for a few years now, maybe 5 or 6. And it's getting worse.

I handle it with threading and plucking but that´s not really the issue.

I haven´t had a period in around 2 years.

I don´t have PCOS according to my ob-gyn but my hormones went crazy when I started psych meds. I quit psych meds a few months back.

I read that quitting sugar helps. which I did, because I´m also diabetic. 

But I was wondering if anyone has had good results with Vitex or Myo-Inositol? Or maybe I should go straight allopathic and try birth control?

Any advice is very much appreciated.
