I have PCOS and have taken Metformin & BCP (Beyaz) for years. I stopped the BCP 7 months ago & have had severe hair loss.Advice?

BoyMom2
I came off of the BCP due to low libido & concern of artificial hormones. The hair loss started very suddenly about 2-3 months later & has not gotten any better. It has been traumatic & frightening! I saw an endocrinologist who prescribed Spironolactine. I've read some scary things about taking this & don't want to do anything to make my situation worse! I battle PCOS symptoms constantly & can't take this hair loss on top of it all. Will the Spiro help me? Will it help regrow the hair I've lost?
