I don't really do medications if I can avoid it as 1. they rarely if ever work for me, and 2. I've suffered some quite dramatic side affects from meds, such as gaining 15 kilos in 2 months, even side effects that aren't really associated with that particular medication, like losing so much much hair I would have ended up bald if I hadn't worked out what was causing it.
Of course for a hormonal thing it can be a bit difficult to treat without medication, but I wanted to know how often others deal with the same thing.
