Ive been taking saw palmetto 160 mg twice a day for a month and a half now. The first month my period was two days, which was great but this month I havent gotten it and its been two weeks. My period is typically pretty normal so im worried im screwing it up by taking sp but i realize a month and a half isnt long enough to see a difference for acne. Last hormone tests I got initially i was high test, then low test but always high dht. Everything else was normal range and i dont have cysts (pcos). I dont think its stress although i did start a new job and moved. Should i keep taking it, or stop while i can? Thanks guys, ive tried researching but theres not much info online for these sorts of things
Yes, I think saw palmetto could potentially mess with your period (spiro sometimes has this effect also), although I really don't know/understand the scientific reason why. If you aren't having any other bad side effects, it might resolve after taking it for a few months, in the same way the body takes a while to adjust to birth control or spiro.
Re: your update that you've stopped taking it, I'm just curious what you are trying now or think you might try next if not continuing with the sp?
