A little back story
I was on tane for 6 mnths....entire time got small spots a week which continued after my course
I decided to try tane only at 50mg to start and stayed on it for almost 6 weeks
I got the worst largest cysts of my life on my chest, spotted the entire time (expected this), skin became even more dry/red...but the worst part is I broke out TONS more
My chin and jaw line have been clear since tane but once I started spiro I had 7-10 small spots, bumps etc on my chin jaw line..new ones would pop up daily
My last spiro pill was Monday and my chin/jaw is completely clear..skin looks much better
Maybe I should have stuck with it longer ..but with no assurance that things would eventually get better i concluded it was not for me..skin looked horrible being so incredibly dry
My derm rec oracea and im hoping this will work better for me!
well just posting as an FYI for anyone taking spiro or in the same position

I got bad initial breakouts with both spiro and accutane (which I'm on now). Spiro took almost 6 months for me to adjust, but kept me PERFECTLY clear for 8 years after that...I just didn't want to keep taking it after that long. Accutane got my face perfectly clear at the two month mark. I'm now 4 months in and haven't had a zit on my face since. Just my two cents, but I think you quit too soon, as neither of those is a quick fix and both take time to build up in your system.

what dosage of spiro did you take?
I think I ended up at 100mg/day, once a day. It really worked well, though it wasn't without side effects (my period was super messed up, I was very tired for awhile, I got leg cramps...but I had clear skin!)
