Used Spironolactone? Rate It:
Cons:
None
Pros:
Works wonders!!! Cleared up my skin in less than 3 months of use! So far the best thing I have tried!
Cons:
As others, I do have to pee more day and night but I got used too. I also feel more tenderness on my breast and the first month acne was worse before clearing up, but appart from that I haven't had any major side effects.
Pros:
Spiro has cleared up my skin on just 75 mgs. I also haven't noticed any problematic side effects that drinking more water doesn't take care of. I don't get stomach aces or other problems like I did with antibiotics.
Cons:
I need to drink a lot of water. I do have to pee more ... but I have always been somewhat like that. I initially got dry eyes and dry mouth ... but drinking more water fixes this.
Pros:
Spironolactone stopped my hormonal eruptions and really
worked better than any oral medicine I have ever tried. Currently using Jan Marini Transitions topically the same concept but topical.
Cons:
After 6 months I started experiencing severe muscle weakness, heavy leg syndrome, tingling in feet and muscle spasms all over.. I had to stop using it after 6 months.
Pros:
EASY! I just take a pill, wake up with clear skin and I can end the day without a breakout. The best part is I can finally use a simple wash (cetaphil) and a simple moisturizer (oil of olay) and that's it!! And bigger boobs which is fantastic!
Cons:
It did make me dizzy so I had to stop taking it in the morning/afternoon and started taking it at night but don't find that I have to wake up to pee a lot as others complained about. It also made me a little more emotional for the first couple months
Pros:
Amazing!, after 11 years of dealing with acne and trying everything, I finally found a doctor that had me try this. It took about 3 months for it to start working for me but once it did I couldn't believe it (absolute miracle!!!!!)
Cons:
it does make you pee alot, my boobs grew a full cup size. Nothing bad like all the other things I've tried in the past. I am terrified to get off this when I want to get pregnant since it seems everyone gets acne again once off it
Pros:
Cleared up my acne when nothing else workedl. I am 56 and have suffered with cystic acne for many years. I'm currently on 75 mg. daily and I am very satified with the results. It took several months to kick in. Good luck!
Cons:
none
Pros:
It will clear up your female hormonal acne and yes, your boobs get more full. My mood is elevated.
Cons:
light-headed occasionally due to lower blood pressure (stand up slowly and take care of yourself-pretty simple)
Pros:
Cystic Acne - cured! Took 1 month to see clear skin. Less oil, hair less oily, no pimples, skin texture is much better and I feel happier!
Cons:
Irregular periods for the first 2 months, extra thirsty, pee a bit more than usual but its worth it!
Pros:
Cleared up my skin.
Cons:
Dry hair and hair loss.
Pros:
Clearing up my cystic acne. Decreasing oil production. Controlling pre-menstrual flare. Affordable.
