Is there any other medication I can take?

I was diagnosed about 2 years ago and was prescribed Carazette to control the symptoms (excess hair,weight etc) but I found that they weren't really working for me and when I went to the doctors about it, they kind of skirted around the issue and wouldn't listen to me. So I was wondering if there is anything else I can take to control the symptoms?

      Oh I know exactly how you feel. My doctors did the exact same. I just booked another appointment with a different doctor in the practice. I think she my problem a little better, the same sort of problems as you. What she is doing with me is just giving me different contraceptive pills until we find one that work. Because she explained to me that they all have varying levels of different hormones which all react differently.

      Try asking about that smile She also said there was creams, injections and other things like the implant. I hate how doctors play this down, it's literally the worst thing for anyone's confidence.
