Anybody else experienced anything like this on Spironolactone please?

Personally I've never really noticed much effect from Lymecycline on sun sensitivity and I'm on a double dose, so I would just say make sure you're applying a very high factor suncream and maybe a add...

Okay so, I've been scouring the internet trying to find accounts of anyone who's experienced something similar as a side effect of spironolactone and come up with zilch, so I thought where better to a...

7 weeks is definitely too soon to tell if it's working for you unfortunately. Many people say give it 3 months, in my experience (I've been on it twice) it's more like 6-8 months to see significant im...

Nobody?  I have my next dermatologist appointment on Tuesday and will probably have to decide whether or not to change tactic and go for Isotretinoin then so I would really&Aci...

Anyone with experience of Spironolactone treatment please?

Are you in the UK by any chance? I had to wait 3 months to see a dermatologist as well and it's an absolute killer. Like you, I wouldn't even leave my house for the whole 3 months. I would strongly ad...

Hi guys, looking to hear some experiences of Spironolactone treatment courses please! Question is in the title really.... Did Spironolactone successfully clear your acne and if so how long did it take...

Hi snarkygirl, thank you so much for sharing your success story, it is literally exactly what I needed to read right now! I'm dealing with acne in my mid-20s and started taking Dianette about 4 months...

So I was expecting to have to have to work really hard to persuade a dermatologist who wouldn't have even heard of spiro to prescribe it for me. Turns out she'd not only heard of it but had even presc...

Saw palmetto theoretically does the same, but it's nothing like as strong as spiro and it's not strong enough for me. I will be desperately trying to persuade my derm to prescribe me spiro when I see ...

Hey everyone, so I managed to get an appointment cancellation just before Christmas this Friday. So posting here again to ask if anyone has managed to get spironolactone prescribed by an NHS dermatolo...

Anyone?

I've tried saw palmetto and stinging nettle root extract. Of the two I found saw palmetto more potent and still take it regularly, but it's still not strong enough to keep my skin under control withou...

I definitely think it looks better, much less red and angry and the under the surface bumps have gone down so it looks much flatter too. I'd say this is good progress for only a few weeks so keep goin...
