Used Glucophage For PCOS Before Pregnancy. Was On Melodene After Birth. Now Having Headache. Should Glucophage Be Started Again?

Hi there,
I had a baby 8 months ago and was put on Melodene 6 weeks after the birth. Before i got pregnant i had PCOS, and was also on Glucophage. Should i start using the Glucophage again, as i really do not feel well and think my hormones are definately not right. I have severe headaches and irritability, as well as moodiness and sadness etc. Please advise.

Hi welcome to Health care magic forum.
Thanks for calling H.C.M.Forum.
You have used glucophage for PCOS, and got a baby, after 6 months you are prescribed melodene, now you are feeling severe headache, irritability, moodiness, and sadness etc.
These symptoms could be due to the gastric irritation of the pills melodene using for contraception. simply stoping the pills for some time may correct your health problem.
If it is not relieved by stopping the drug,Post partum eclamptia should be considered . so i advise you to consult a physician for diagnosis and treatment. If hypertension is there you should get a thorough examination.If it is diagnised in time there will be no problems, and possibility of eclampsia is excluded.
Wishing for a quick and complete recovery.
Best regards.
