Do you eat healthily and exercise everyday? If not, that's were to start before medication. In PCOS you produce extra insulin, which it is why you'd put on more weight than most. Try not to snack, don't eat carbs, if you do only once a day, don't eat sugary things.If that really doesn't work there are drugs like Metmorfin, which is not for everyone but some get on fine with it. It made me pretty ill. I ended up losing weight naturally, through calories and walk 10,000 steps everyday.

Good luck!
