If you're serious about the rosacea, there are two main rosacea forums you can look into. The Rosacea Forum The Rosacea Support Community The first one is UK-based, so if you're in Canada you may find...

I took Oracea before spironolactone, and it may have reduced the erythema (redness) a little bit, but it didn't help with the acne / papules / pustules component. The whole point of Oracea is that 40m...

As I thought, he was concerned about my taking spiro for my acne. I showed him the pictures I took before I started taking spiro and he asked why it was prescribed to me. I told him I asked for the rx...

At long last, I'll be seeing a derm on Friday. (it has been a four month wait to see this specialist - he's one of the highly recommended ones in the city where I live) Of course, my skin has cleared ...

Sorry, I didn't mean to ignore you. Thanks for your feedback and glad it's not just me. Thanks for the link about peppermint and heartburn. Not surprising since spiro has a minty taste to it. cheers!...

Spironolactone slows the growth of fibrous tissue. It won't be noticeable in someone with a perfectly healthy stomach. If you already have ulcers (perhaps small ones you didn't know about), it can mag...

It has been 3 1/2 months since I started spiro and I'm finally clear (the hyper pigmentation is slowly healing) and I'll be seeing a derm next week. Have any spiro users experienced heartburn while ta...

Has anyone else experienced flaky, dry skin patches on your face when using sprionolactone. It's not really that bad....but when I apply my make up it looks so noticeable! Wondering if this is from th...

Thank you hearts! You've been a great help! If I have any important further questions can I pm you? I have a zit on my chin now, it may have turned nodule if not for the progesterone. I hope it contin...

Good luck with this. Who knows, I might have to do this at some point and I'm curious to see how it works. Yeah, derms aren't always with it about hormonal stuff.

i have been on spiro for about 9 months and my periods are still a bit irregular but it doesnt bother me at all because i hardly get pms anymore. the one time though i think i went over 45 days so i g...

my experience was okay. my need to urinate and drink water increased till I adjusted to the meds. Results were subtle; I could see spiro tamed my hormonal breakouts a bit. Basically I broke out with s...

There was an eight year study done on women using spironolactone. They found that around 20% had side effects such as irregular periods, but that only a small percentage (I think it was 5 or 7 percent...

Those who have been on spiro for at least several months - how long did it take before your periods became regular again? (assuming you're not on the bcp) I've had two periods since I started spiro (...

Day 135 So I am very sorry for not updating in such a long time. Truth is, I have been very depressed about my face, and I couldn't bear to put it into words. Right after my last post, things seemed t...

Over the last 4 years, I've suspected that I've had a lot of things - including things like this. At one point I felt like I had the symptoms of diabetes, but now I'm not so sure. However, I do feel t...

Is there a correlation between diabetes and acne? There is a history of diabetes on my mother's side of the family and last year, my blood test results indicated my glucose levels were a wee bit above...

  Are you taking the spiro with food? If not, then it may upset your stomach. Also, have you had blood work done to make sure your potassium levels are fine? Nausea is one of the possible side...

I'm trying! It's hard when it had started out at one breakout around the chin and now it's my whole face with clogged pores. I have never had acne this bad and I feel like it just looks worse when I t...

Spiro has shortened the days between my cycles (although not bad, 3 - 5 days). Still, I'm monitoring it and naturally, no one wants a period every 2 weeks. I'll keep Green Gables' suggestions in mind ...

So I posted on here last month, I've now been on spironolactone for a month and 1 week. I've been using cetaphil just like my dermatologist recommended and my skin has only gotten rougher and bumpier....

I've lost weight since taking spiro. It's probably a combination of changing my diet and exercise. I find that spiro has decreased my appetite slightly (and I love food) so I need to make sure I eat r...
