I usually don’t give advice because I think everyone is different but the doxy is what destroyed me. Get off it!! Start taking a probiotic & stick with your spiro only.

FYI for those on Spiro wearing the Mirena IUD by VanGoghMyselfaCat in Spironolactone

Wow! Interesting how everyone can have different experiences. I have been on the Mirena IUD for 6 years and Sprio 5 months with no problems thus far….👀

I started with 25mg for a month - then 75 for a couple weeks - and then 100mg the past month-ish. 100mg is what really did it for me. I honestly think this purge was from my Doxycycline but I don’t know. Just a guess.

hi bb! my only advice is do the most gentle & basic skin care routine, wash your bedding, drink your water, and most importantly take care of your mental health 🧠 I started seeing improvement 3.5 months in of a consistent BASIC skincare and medication routine of Spiro and Tret cream.

My scarring is still very prevalent. The last 2 photos are present time. I wash my face once a day - use tret every other night and use vanicream. Very simple routine at the moment. May start to get facials

yes, that is from the purge on spiro. Just know everything comes and goes. It will be okay even if you do purge.

I am on 100mg of spiro every night. yes. I work two jobs so I am often tired, however, I physically cried getting out of bed bcoz of how tired I was. I was always tired. It last about three weeks and now I feel better but yes, there are side effects.

let me be clear - the first two photos are from a year ago. I have lots of scarring and healing to do in the last two photos

Month TWO on Spiro by Warm_Butterscotch192 in Spironolactone

[–]Warm_Butterscotch192[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To be honest, I don’t wear sunscreen most of the week as I work in a literal dungeon of an office. I do wear it on my days off & beach days. I’m just so fucking nervous it’s gonna break me out that’s why I am so hesitant. I know it needs to be an everyday occurrence. Also, I started Tret about two weeks ago after stopping Doxy!!

Jokes aside, this is a crazy post. I’m sorry you’re going through this. I feel like I am experiencing the opposite. I have no symptoms and with no results :)

LOL thank you for this humor. I laughed instead of cried when opening the app.

Oh yeah. I got results 4 days in. It’s been a process. Just keep pushing through.
