You said you work in a pharmacy. Any idea of the max length of time one can be on this? I want to take it til I die. I know that sounds extreme but I am never going back =) I would totally find a way ...

I am wondering if the other treatments you are using with the spiro are producing your oil. Sometimes my skin gets oil of harsh chemicals or overdrying or over moisturizing which I recently discovered...

Anti-em I think it took well over a month for me to notice a significant decrease in oil product. I didn't really notice it until my script was upped to 100mg from 50mg. which I asked to be upped betw...

Good luck to you LJ, I know how you feel!! I just found spiro and its amazing!! I wander if you could even have your doc prescribe it at 25mg for now, so you can at least start getting it into your sy...

Hey Agnharda..why bump it up if your skin is clearing? And if you really want to see if it is in fact the spiro or the differin try to stop using the differin for a few days? Spiro usually takes some ...

Zinc..you hit the nail on the head. These posts kept me going in my first few weeks on spiro too, not only the posts but the other users.. and it has been an amazing drug for me as well. I am nearing ...

I have not really noticed it "drying" me out everywhere. And its only oil secretion that is stops or slows rather so I don't think your vag would be affected lol. i have only noticed a difference on m...

Didn't affect my cycle..=)

I called my doctor, and she upped my script to 100mg once a day. Cysts are gone. Face isn't too bad. I think taking the Niacin with the Spiro for another month or so is the best way to go. Because I t...

I went over a week without getting cysts. I also started taking Niacin which really help heal the old ones and kept me even less greasy and no cysts... only my jawline still wasn't clearing up. So I u...
