Hi,

Out of the medicines you mentioned, epilim may have something to do with your problem as it can cause polycystic ovarian syndrome. But in that case, you would have been having irregular periods and weight gain too. If this is not the case, in my experience, you need not worry about medications having harmed you, more so because you have already stopped them a year ago. Please see a doctor and get yourself assessed for any other possible causes.

Best wishes.
