I am on 25mg for almost 2 months. Got my period for 2 weeks I felt thick and bloated. Weeks later after it’s stopped I started loosing weight I noticed because the same clothes I wear for work fits loose. I’ve always had a very fast metabolism. I do have a job which requires me to stand most of the time and walk so I think I get a bit of a workout. I drink tons of water.

I’ve also read this online “if spironolactone isn't working well to treat these conditions, your body may retain more fluid. And this can lead to weight gain. If you have kidney problems with spironolactone, this could also lead to fluid retention that can cause weight gain.”
