nightmind--don't worry about the job and your face! I've been on Spiro since March also...100 mg. My face is still breaking out here and there but for the most part is about 60% better. I work in a...

Agree! Don't worry about it! I know it's hard to deal with but you may deal with a few weeks of your skin purging all the junk out. I had the same exact thing happen to me and up until about 2 weeks ...

Reading all the blogs from today is so encouraging! I'm almost to the three month mark of using Spiro and you guys are right about those first icky couple of months. My face is STILL breaking out. ...

I just tried the website and it worked so that's great! THANKS ktgrl130!

My period was a few days late my first time on Spiro and it's a few days late again...I should start anytime now. It remained normal the first month and I'm not on BC.

Hey ktgrl130! I went to see my dermi today. She told me to stay on the Spiro and that she believes the next time I see her (4 weeks from today), I will feel different. She almost guarantees me that...

Hi everyone.   I just started spiro last night, 25 mgs then and 25 this morning. I'm already noticing the diuretic effect - I was kept awake much later than usual last night because I needed to...

Dubb U--your situation sounds a lot like mine. Not a day goes by that I don't get a new zit, except mine aren't "popable"! Even though their cysts, at least their A LOT smaller than they used to be. M...

Time for an update from me as well! I've upped my dose to 75 mg and I go back to the derm in about a week...yay! I feel like I need help from the derm! My skin is "clearing" but the redmarks are ri...

I'm definitely still wearing foundation. I just can't help it! My cheeks are like a war-zone of scars and cysts that are STILL healing from like a month ago! School ends for me this week so I'll pr...

YAY!! I'm so glad you guys love it!!! I told you so!! About the color issue, I'm worried about the same thing. However, I was outside ALL day in the hot sun (I live in the south) on Saturday, and my...

I think I am FINALLY over my initial breakout from Spiro and/or Doxy!! YAY!!! I haven't had a new zit in 3 days!!! However, my acne is still healing but overall, there are only a few places that are r...

Right now, I'm using Clinique's Clarifying Makeup Clear Skin Formula foundation. It lasts me a really long time! It has great coverage! It is oil-free and doesn't dry my skin out. I also think it is...

Hi everyone. I've been lurking around this site for a few weeks now. It's been so useful seeing how other people have been going on Spiro.   I've had acne since I was about 12 and I'm 29 now. I ...

It is really nice to be able to come on here and express how hard it is to battle acne. My family/friends are all the same way. Most of them have crystal-clear skin and it KILLS me when my mom says,...

Thanks so much for the advice EMN! I really appreciate it! It's nice to know that there could be hope for my acne! I think I'm going to stop using Neutrogena. I've been washing my face with it for tw...

I've been taking 50 mg of Spiro and 200 mg of doxycycline a day. My oil production is definitely noticeably less but I've had a horrible initial breakout. I've been taking these medicines for 2 week...
