Response:
Elaine, I have recently started taking Saw Palmetto to combat the hirsutism I have from PCO. I began taking 2 400mg tablets a day and am quite pleased with the results so far. Prior to this, I have been going to an electrolysist every week for the past 2 years with little to no change in the amount of hair, if anything it only seemed to get worse. That is, until now. After 2 months on Saw Palmetto the electrolysis seems to be taking. I finally have a bald patch on my throat WOOHOO. My electrolysist seems to think that I might actually be able to get to the "maintenance level" of electrolysis eventually (where I will only go once every 6 months or so to clear any new hairs). Even she has noticed a big difference and can’t wait to see when we finally clear one side completely & go onto the other, just to see how long it takes for any new ones to appear on the cleared off side. Myself, I have experienced no side affects other than a few mild anxiety attacks in first week I started taking it (and that could have been caused by stress). But, another person I have talked to mentioned they had heart flutters (palpatations) and thought that the Saw Palmetto was causing it… but no definite proof. Hope this answers your question… any others, please feel free to email me at Meo…@aol.com Tina – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text -Elaine wrote:> >Has anyone ever tried the herb Saw Palmetto for PCO?
