Ive been doing alot of research and apparently spiro affects potassium. Its supposed to be potassium sparing but it lowered my potassium because i was so dehydrated. I was thinking of trying spiro again except this time taking it along with potassium supplements. Id like to see if it might alleviate the anixety i feel when taking spiro. If anyone has feedback on my idea post please!
I agree with Hearts. I wanted to say I didn't think spiro was for you since you seem to have so many issues, bt I stopped myself, because I know how awful acne can be, especially when you know theres something that works, but you can't use. I feel so bad for you because I get it. But you can't take something that will potentially kill you. There has to be so something else you can take. Why can't you use bcp again? I remember telling you you should try it but don't remember if you can't use it for some reason.
Is your thyroid still out of whack? Thyroid issues can cause acne and mess up your hormones. Maybe it's bc of your thyroid that your k goes down, because I don't understand how else it would -- it seems like it would have to be some underlying health issue but idk.
I hope you are able to figure something out that works for you.
Your replies are helpful and greatly appreciated. Maybe i was wrong. Maybe my potassium went up on spiro instead of down. I was reading symptoms of low potassium and i had all of them so i just assumed. Im afraid to take birth control because of all of the side effects like mood swings and weight gain. I also heard that yaz and yasmin are the only reasonable options when it comes to clearing acne. Thanks again for your support.
As for the thyroid i started taking cytomel which is a T3 only hormone. Been on it for a few days and so far i dont feel any changes.
