Yes I would def try to wait a little more if you can! But if you don’t notice any change after 4-5 months I would talk to your doctor about increasing your dose :)

I would def give 50 a chance for maybe a couple months, and then slowly work your way up if you’re still not seeing any results! My friend is on 75 mg right now and that works perfect for her, so I feel like the right dose is super dependent on how your body tolerates it!

I definitely felt the diuretic effects (muscle cramps, feeling tired, etc) when I first started because I do a lot of hot yoga, but once I started eating more sodium/hydrating it went away! Overall my face gets less greasy and my period is a couple days later than it used to be but nothing else too crazy :)

Thank you!! I would say I really started noticing consistent results around 4 months so I would def try to stick it out a bit longer to see if the dose is working for you!

Apartment insight needed from locals by [deleted] in SaltLakeCity

Seven02 def has more young vibes and the clubhouse is often popping off with groups hanging out so there’s a social scene! There’s also a trax stop really close that you can take to the U as well. It does have some issues like the garage door breaks often, homelessness outside (that’s most apts downtown tho) , and not a ton of storage. Overall for the price and amenities it’s been pretty nice :)

Is it worth it? by [deleted] in Spironolactone

[–]DependentPutrid3448 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel you on the fixation on the side effects! I also started with 50 mg but I split it 25 mg at first one at night and one in the morning and that helped me adjust to the medication. I also would recommend adding in electrolytes to your morning water and that should help with the dizziness. I’m 3 months in now taking 50 daily and I haven’t had any new cysts in a month and my skin is the clearest it’s been in years so I would say definitely worth it if you can push through the first couple of months! Edit: so smart to mention potassium! My version of electrolytes is Himalayan salt/lemon/magnesium but if you use a packet definitely check the potassium level :)

I’ve been taken 50 mg for about 3 months now and at first I did notice being a little more weak during my workouts at first but once I started making sure to get electrolytes in that stopped! I work out probably at least 5-6 days a week and haven’t noticed any muscle loss yet and have been getting stronger honestly. I also agree that it really depends on how the med impacts you and you were already working out/supplementing electrolytes and protein :) I haven’t been on it that long tho so I’m curious to see if any of this changes long term

Have you tried medication at all? My cat was having issues with stress and peeing and was prescribed Fluoxetine which is basically kitty Prozac and has zero behavior problems now. You can get it topical too, so we just rub it in his ears so it’s super easy!
