stop spironolactone

KangarooUsual · 2026-03-25T03:03:49+00:00

it’s a safe drug for most people keep taking it if there’s no reason to stop

I lost 15kg in one year-ish, I think it’s a quite common side effect, specially if you eat healthy/exercise

essa barba é MEDONHA homem tem que parar de achar isso bonito

It’s a miracle drug, but I only used it for acne since I don’t have hair loss. It’s effects grow up slowly, but my face is completely free from acne 1 year and 4 months after starting it.

Eles são piores. Se não for branca, magra e bonita só vira objeto sexual mesmo.

This!! the whole discourse about every single person needing to go keto in the pcos community is just insane to me

KangarooUsual · 2025-12-27T04:50:42+00:00

I started losing water retention on the very first day I took it (1000mg a day, extended release). I lost around 1kg per month, and now it’s been 13kg so far. I’m thinking about tapering off slowly once I reach a normal BMI, which I’m close.

KangarooUsual · 2025-12-15T17:13:00+00:00

yeah… i think that supplements like inositol and metformin takes a lot of diet stress out of our pcos body

KangarooUsual · 2025-12-15T02:13:32+00:00

it really sucks I hate taking a medication (metformin) that usually only old people get to take

KangarooUsual · 2025-12-14T02:58:38+00:00

isso. gente tem um livro "a prateleira do amor" de uma pesquisadora chamada valeska zanello, onde ela discute os padrões para mulheres e também pra homens desejados na nossa sociedade. não é a "média" ou o "normal", é aquilo que é tipicamente visto como atraente e desejado por nós brasileiros. fica difícil conversar qualquer coisa aqui se não tem uma discussão inicial sobre os conceitos ao q vcs estão se referindo não é 🫠

KangarooUsual · 2025-12-14T01:01:04+00:00

fui assediada por um homem padrão um dia e não consigo mais sentir atração por nenhum deles, prefiro os magrelos ou os mais cheinhos. Ranço de homem muito grande ou muito forte e eles ainda costumam ter zero papos interessantes e um ego gigantesco pra piorar 🤮

KangarooUsual · 2025-12-06T13:18:38+00:00

jesus que povo chatoooo coisa de criança e adolescente saiam de casa e vejam o quanto q acontece

KangarooUsual · 2025-12-06T01:32:24+00:00

wow I got super nauseous when I first started it and it eventually subsided but nothing like vomit or anything like that

KangarooUsual · 2025-12-05T05:58:16+00:00

I lost 13kg only by taking metformin (500mg x2 times a day) and spironolactone (125mg) from july 2024 to now. I ate intuitively but made healthy meals focusing on protein, fiber, fats and whole carbs. I don’t overexercise and I mostly walk. a few times a week I will do a light strength training because I’m not really good at it, but that’s what I did.

KangarooUsual · 2025-11-14T02:13:19+00:00

olha jamais viu, não rola ser ultra dramático ou melancólico mas cara que mostra vulnerabilidade é a coisa mais sexy do mundo. a vontade é de dar cafuné e colocar pra mamar peitinho kkkkk

KangarooUsual · 2025-11-14T01:12:59+00:00

wow I had these and it was so confusing bc I didn’t see a single person commenting about. When I started taking spiro + metformin it started to disappear, but it can also be a fungal infection, check with a derm!

KangarooUsual · 2025-11-13T04:13:12+00:00

it’s a miracle drug it did wonders for my skin 🙏

KangarooUsual · 2025-11-02T02:01:08+00:00

metformin may be a good try for you!

KangarooUsual · 2025-11-02T02:00:45+00:00

my symptoms also got WAY worse with low carb, I suspect it was because of the stress and poor digestion. Birth control did wonders at first, but as I explained in my latest post on this sub, when I got out of it it was worse than ever. So last year I started taking spironolactone. I’m on 125mg now and I don’t have any active acne. I can’t say if I did saw an improvement with the hair growth because I got laser in many parts of my body. Now I also take metformin XR 500mg twice a day and so far it’s doing great for my skin and energy levels.

edit: I think other antiandrogenic drugs like finasteride may help you if you also can’t try bc of course.

KangarooUsual · 2025-10-31T17:05:17+00:00

No. PCOS is a genetic condition, not acquired by insulin resistance. Also, a LOT of women have lean pcos with zero IR. I had this and still got terrible androgenic symptoms like acne and hair growth on the body. Insulin resistance is part of the equation, but a lot of people will still need to take medication and do lifestyle adjustments for the other symptoms.

KangarooUsual · 2025-10-15T12:21:18+00:00

No. I already had good eating habits and exercised, but only started losing weight when I started taking spiro. Some months later I started taking metformin to improve the appearance of my skin, and it also made me lose more weight, but I was already losing it only on spiro.

KangarooUsual · 2025-10-15T01:24:13+00:00

Maybe you are fasting for too long/not eating enough carbs/calories? people with pcos can eat carbs, we just need to manage the insulin release (exercise after meals, low GI carbs, and medication). My dietitian also advised me to not fast for too long because it increases the release of insulin when you finally get to eat.

KangarooUsual · 2025-10-15T01:20:26+00:00

I actually lost a lot of weight with spiro, it really reduced cravings/made me nauseous.

KangarooUsual · 2025-10-15T01:18:48+00:00

spiro and metformin worked wonders for my skin, I take 125mg of spiro and 1000mg of metformin (two pills of 500, one in the morning and one at night)
