Anyone here with PCOS that have been prescribed bicalutamide? What are your experiences?

I have non-insulin resistant PCOS (have elevated testosterone and DHEA-S along with polycystic ovaries on ultrasound). I deal with hirsutism, hair loss, and acne, which are all things I'd be taking the bicalutamide for. I couldn't really handle spironolactone side effects. Just adding this info in case it helps.

Hi! Diagnosed PCOS here. My DHEA-S is rather high and is really my only abnormal lab. Tried many, many things but they don't really make much of a dent in my DHEA-S levels.

Has anybody here tried really low dose dexamethasone? If so, did it help lower your DHEA-S and what changes did you notice? Any other side effects, including skin thinning?
