does anyone know how long a person should stay on Metformin to kill ovarian cyst?

They have me taking 2000mg a day. The doctors here have a bad habbit of just telling me, here take this and don't want to answer any questions. Same thing with the birth control pills to regulate my period. After 4 or 5 months, it stops my period. Now i have to started up again.

Update:

Altemfem: I have tried. I have already been thru 5 doctors for these problems. The very first doctor i saw took her visit fee and refered me to someone else. guess she was not going to see alot of money out of it.

    If a doctor won't answer your questions, find another doctor. Is there not a label on the medicine with instructions? I'd find another doctor or clinic if you're unhappy with the treatment you're getting.

    Metformin doesn't kill it, the only thing that'll kill it is surgery - which they won't perform because it's dangerous.

    Metformin helps you lose weight and keeps your sugar levels low.

    BCP's prevent you from ovulating, and when you don't ovulate you dont usually have problems with this.

    See an endocrinologist - they specialize in stuff like this.

    If your doctors don't tell you how long, ask the pharmacist. But frankly, I would find a new doctor.
