Sept 13th, 2014 One day shy of 6 months on spironolactone @ 50mgs, once a day. Wow. I gotta say, I had my doubts after the 5th month marker. The oiliness of my skin had gone down, but I was still g...

2 MONTHS & 1 WEEK So, haven't been on here in awhile. Figured tracking my zits each day would just drive me crazy--which it was. So, opted to just take spiro and report back here whenever I saw a...

Good Luck with the Spiro. From what I hear, it takes a while for it to kick in. Be carefully not to up your dose too fast tho because my theory is, if you have very hormonal acne, your face will break...

DAY 19   A few new small cysts, a couple very large new ones on my back   Oh spiro. Please work.   Skin as of today: see pictures

MYLAN brand is a flat circle shape, white, with a indented line going across it down the middle on one side.   Is mylan better than anmeal? CVS can special order mylan, but they can't special or...

DAY 17   Been feeling slightly lightheaded as of late, and I've noticed my heart rate will spike randomly. Nothing alarming though. Skin is slightly less oily (very slightly)   Three new ...

DAY 12   Started a new regimen for nighttime. Bought some Kirkland signature Vitamin E gel pills, cut two open, and smeared the inside goo all over my face as well as some benzoyl peroxide, and...

DAY 10   Figured logging on here every single day will be a bit pointless to do, so that's why it's every other day or so, mainly when I notice a difference in my skin, be it +/-   First d...

      I'd just wait it out. Especially if you've only been on it for 2 days. I cleared on only 25mg after 6 months.   I only ask bc I'm tall (5'10") and a little heavier t...

DAY 7   Wow, a full week on spiro! The cysts have flattened out, but other than that, no change. Still oily. Got a few new monsters around my mouth and one under my jaw and two on my left cheekb...

DAY 5   My back and chest have gotten worse. Got two new cysts on my back (NEVER has that happened to me!) and a few new bumps around my cleavage. my face hasn't gotten better or worse, althou...

I'd just wait it out. Especially if you've only been on it for 2 days. I cleared on only 25mg after 6 months. I only ask bc I'm tall (5'10") and a little heavier than I want to be (170lbs) and I'm ...

Just started on 50mg once a day, two days ago! My acne is pretty damn bad and I want to up my dose but I'm unsure as to how much to up it or if I should just leave it at the 50mg and wait it out...? ...

DAY 3   Skin hasn't improved. Three new cysts are showing up, one in between my eyebrows (soooo attractive) one on my jaw, and one on my left cheek. Noticed NO reduction in oil or anything. ...

Well, here's day ONE of my spironolactone journey. After some crazy begging and jumping through hoops, I finally got it perscribed to me, the Anmeal brand, at 50MG's. Took it this morning at 9am. Sk...
