Spironolactone

How long do you have to keep taking it?

I started taking Spiro A YEAR AGO for my adult acne that no other medications have successfully treated.
Spiro dried up all my oil and cleared my skin in 2 months!
I have also gotten bigger breasts (but no complaints,here).

The only downsides are frequent potassium checks,urinating alot,and some fatigue.
This is the best thing that could have happened to me. :-D

I'm 27 f female from aust, i have been taking spironolactone for about four months now.
I have been prescribed this due to hair loss (thining really quickly) and i have found it to be amazing! I have been having mood swings as a result and headaches... however apart from that I couldnt be happier. My hair has stopped falling out! the hair i have is so much thicker and healthier... i dont wear a hat anymore and i got a knot in my hair for the first time yesterday.. sounds strange, but i was over the moon about it :) being able to grow my hair again has made me so happy
I have had to take regular blood test to keep an eye on my levels. So far so good :)

Painful intercorse

I am a female patient from NY, age 33. I am being treated for Hashimoto Thyroiditis with Synthroid and Cytomel. I was concerned that after 11 years since my diagnosis, my hair is still falling out at an alarming rate. My doctor noticed that my testosterone levels were a bit high and decided to treat me with Spironolactone (50 MG). I noticed no difference in the amount of hair loss but have been having constant, uncomfortable eye spasms and a breast tenderness as well as breast enlargement. This is just after a little over a month of treatment. I will stop taking Spironolactone as I do not see it as being beneficial to me.
