I've been taking 75mg of Spironolactone for over a year now. Skin is completely clear, stays that way. Only problem is I've developed some gastrointestinal issues (as well as anxiety) since a few months after starting. I am thinking and hoping this is just a coincidence since Spiro works so wonderfully for me. So my plan is to taper down to 50mg, maybe even 25mg, and hope to stay clear.
My concern is that I never see anyone report being clear on anything under 100mg! Most people are taller than me, so maybe the higher dosage is due to a size difference? I'm not super tiny, I'm 5'2'' 125 lbs.
Is anyone taking less than this and is clear? Has anyone started at a higher dose and tapered down and stayed clear?
Yes!! I was on 100mg for about 2 weeks and my hair was falling out like crazy, my breasts were extremely sore, I was emotional and bloated. My doctor said 25mg couldn't possibly make a big difference and that wasn't the cause of all those symptoms. As soon as I went back down to 75mg, all that went away.
I will stay on 50mg for a bit, even if I get a couple break outs, and see what happens. Thanks
