Hi all, ive been on spiro 100 mg for about 2 years. Recently my derm suggesting adding 25 mg to total 125 mg per day. Ive been on this added dosage for about 4 weeks and I've noted more oil! My face ...

I was only ever on Yasmin name brand. First time on...I honestly do not recall! Sorry. I know it worked dramatically Bc for the 7 years I was on it I used nothing else! Went on after my daughter was ...

Yes...mine did though I had to pay 40 per month for Yasmin. It was worth every penny though!

My obgyn told me to take name brand only, especially for acne. She said there are slight changes that can cause issues if you are sensitive.

Well, for me, pregnancy made my acne vanish. My skin was perfect and stayed that way almost a year after.

I was on a low dose of minocyclin when I started spiro and later bumped up in dosage. I did not have a breakout...and I do not think it was Because of the mino. 9 days ago I increased my dosage from 7...

The first time on I didn't have any breakout. Went off to have a baby and when I went back on after nursing I broke out in smaller pimples in literally the second or third day. I had zero pimples pri...

The same happened to me.

bumped up to 100mg three days ago. My skin has been pretty dry overall, though more oily during the week before my period. I'm hoping the move to 100 will help. Endo did blood work and called me to ...

Hang in there. I know just how you feel.

Hi there. I started Spiro in March of 2015...50mg. I went to 75 in June and just increased to 100 this week. I was on minocyclin when I first started and increased to 50 and I didn't have a flare. I'v...

Here's what is bizarre for me. I've always had normal periods and ovulated. Acne began with my period and I typically had worse acne during ovulation. I went on Yasmin at 26 and my acne stopped. Like ...

did you stop the bcp and add the spiro at the same time or add the spiro prior to stopping bc? I'm thinking of stopping bc too, because honestly I wonder if it's just making things worse.

Yes...I do get smaller pimples now vs sore inflamed ones. When i do breakout, I am getting these clusters of small red pimples on my lower cheek/jaw area. I didn't have an ib when starting or bumping...

Hi there... I could really use some advice. I'm almost 40 and so sick and tired of my skin. I have been on Orthocyclen for over a year and 75 mg of Spironolactone since June. I have great months and r...

Anyone have insight on this?

Thinking of you and hoping you are having a good day.

hi there. Just wanted you to know that I can relate to you and understand all you are saying. I've battled with my skin since adolescence (I'm now almost 40). I had times of clear skin, due to Yasmin ...

About 10 years ago I suddenly became totally deaf in my left ear. I was diagnosed with sudden sensorineural hearing loss. The cause is unknown and the condition is pretty rare. At the time of the los...

I have been in orthocyclen for over a year and 75 mg of spironolactone since March. Ive seen improvement. Some months I continue to breakout mid cycle (usually between days 17-21). I do have both PCO ...

I have used epiduo for about 11 months. I think it helps minimally. My acne is hormonal and I also take 75mg of spironolactone. Things improved but still not clear. Considering adding more spironolact...

I've been on differin .3 for three months. Still getting some small pimples and some that last for weeks or months. Is it worth switching to retin a micro? Or should I consider increasing my dose of s...

I'm not sure I can help with your question, but I having been dying to know the answer on the reverse. I am currently on 75mg of spironolactone and have been since July. I still get small pimples. Som...

Yes, I'm tired of this. At 38 I thought I might at least be on the other side of the battle. I have had acne of varying degrees since the age of 10. I have read all there is to read, I have gone to su...

Strangely, I was on yasmin for 6 years and it was the only thing to clear my skin. I went off to get pregnant, back on after and it worked again. After my last child, it didn't work. I also started de...
