Hey guys! Don't know if anyone is still reading this but I wanted to do another update. So I am exactly 4 months in on spiro. Definitely not out of the woods yet but I do have to say I'm starting to s...

Forgot to add that I am just over 3 months in...

Hey guys! Sorry I haven't posted in a while. Cl1234, thanks for sharing your situation with OCD and picking. It must be tough but it's always comforting for me to hear that I'm not the only one still ...

Just so you guys know, I love Makeup Forever's Matte Velvet foundation. It's non-comedogenic and covers really well! Their full cover concealer has also been my savior over these past couple months.

I know exactly how you feel cl1234- I think you and I are on the same page right now. A couple weeks ago things were really looking up for me and now I almost feel back to square one! (ok, I'm being d...

UGH.. I got another cystic breakout. GRRRRR I am sooo mad. A cluster of like four by my mouth way under the skin. I'm thinking though it might be because I was bad and went out drinking two nights las...

Forgot to mention that I have encorporated some face masks into my routine a couple days a week. I've been using the Montagne Jeunesse ones that come in a single use pack. You can get them at stores l...

I don't think he is planning on taking me off for a while hopefully, but all of a sudden he is saying it's not safe to be on long term, and my few active cysts, papules, whatever heal, i will be "rela...

cl1234- I am SO sorry to hear you are feeling discouraged. You know we've all been there (and many of us still are). I'm still breaking out as well but, knock on wood, don't think the pimples are quit...

Soo I'm having a bad day. I have at least four big cysts on my chin that won't go away and only seem to be getting worse, as well as tiny bumps all around them and on my cheeks. I just want this to be...

A really random question for everyone. What kind of side effects (if any) have you guys been getting? I don't think I've been experiencing any. Although I keep reading about all these side effects. On...

Hang in there you guys!!! I know exactly what you're going through. I've been on Spiro for five months now with AMAZING results, but the first 2-3 months were completely miserable. Keep your chins up,...

I know! I'm trying to think of it that way- that we already have one month down. While I would never ever wish this upon anyone either, it is so comforting to know there are others dealing with the sa...

Hey guys! Just thought I would join in since I am on the exact same page as you all. I have been taking spironolactone for 24 days now and definitely suffering an initial breakout. I broke out durin...

So its been 3 weeks on spironolactone and it seemed as if my face was clearing up, but I woke up today with several painful cysts. I feel so discouraged! I am wondering if it's because I went out on F...

Thanks for everyone's encouragement! It means alot

The best makeup is Makeup Forever. I use full cover concealer and matte velvet foundation. Both are non comedogenic and amazing! Worth spending the money, don't use that drugstore "mineral" crap!

Yeah I'm still not sure if the initial breakout is because I'm about to get my period or becuase of the spiro... I've just heard so many stories of acne getting worse on spiro before it gets better th...

Thanks so much for your feedback. I'll be interested to hear if other women noticed a similar timeline...

Hello, I noticed that many people have said they suffered an initial breakout while taking spironolactone. I'm on my third day, 50mg 1x, and am noticing that my face is breaking out some(who knows t...
