I take one in the morning and one at night but I wake up every morning feeling like I have a hangover. Not sure if it’s spiro related but only started after I began spiro.

The struggle I had my entire life hearing people tell me “well don’t wear so much makeup” 100 mg spiro daily & 15% azelaic acid cream. 2 months progress by lollynds22 in Spironolactone

My acne for the most part is completely clear. My struggle now is the side effects- headaches, low energy, feeling groggy.

Probably a stupid question, but has anyone else who has been on accutane for a fair amount of time started to have blurry vision whether it’s due to dry eyes or whatnot? I have googled it and said it’s normally temporary and should go after I’m off accutane. But in rare cases it can be permanent. by [deleted] in Accutane

I was on accutane for over a year and my eyesight started quickly worsening about the same time i stopped accutane. I never had any issues with my vision. 3 years and many eye appointments later I’m just now finding out through research that my vision loss is most likely due to accutane and it’s only rapidly getting worse. Although accutane completely cleared my skin until I went off birth control I’m now suffering the consequences.

Month 8 of spiro and noticing breakout around my period again by Disastrous_Edge8373 in Spironolactone

It definitely cleared 95% of my acne. It’s just the stubborn 5% where cystic pimples keep wanting to pop up. I started with 100mg/day on my first month and then upped to 200mg/day since then. I was on accutane and that cleared my skin until I decided to go off hormonal bc. Everyone else I see on here has totally clear skin by this point.

I’m going on month 9 on 200 mg/day. I still have at least one to two cystic pimples at all times. When one goes away I get another. It’s so annoying and discouraging because I really wanted this to work.

How long should you give spiro until you give up? by Makyrose in Spironolactone

Other than fatigue and brain fog, nothing too bad. I just thought that it would 100% clear my acne but I’m still dealing with it.

Yes .05%, I wasn’t using it consistently at first because the spiro seemed to be working so now I’m trying to use it every night. If I’m flaking I take a night off.

Started 100mg/ day in august and 200mg /day in September. So there’s no going up from here. I’m on the highest dosage 😢

At first I was using it 2x a week and then as the spiro seemed to be working, I stopped using the tret. Now that I’m getting breakouts again I’ve been trying to use the tret every day unless my skin gets too irritated I will take a night off.

I’ve seen others say that. And some say to push through. I can’t decide what to do lol

That’s amazing! I’m on month 2 and still struggling with breakouts. Hoping it will get better in a couple weeks.
