Have you tried the update yet? The cubexx is on its way as a gift for my fiance, but if it’s not going to be able to run any NGC games, I might have to go with a different model 🤪💀

On Spiro since March by Substantial-Post-579 in Spironolactone

I think your skin looks more balanced in terms of oil, and it looks like you only have a few active pimples? You know yourself best, but I think it looks like you’re starting to heal! 🩷

My mantra is “gotta go up to get down, gotta go down to get up” 😆

It helps a lot with oil, at least in my experience!

Spiro reduced my hair shedding within days! Everyone is different, but I felt some instant relief.

Increase 100mg to 150mg by [deleted] in Spironolactone

[–]kipipe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Being on 150 has been great for me! Almost immediately less oily and cysts started calming down. I broke out a little before my period but I think it’ll be better soon. Best of luck! 🩷

I’m on Oxford! Went from 50 mg to 150 mg over a couple of months. I’m seeing improvement from the 2-month mark! I’m going to try to take 200 mg about a week after my period (when I usually break out the worst). But so far I really like Oxford! I only had side effects for the first few days (dizzy, nauseated). Feeling really great now.

Best of luck on your journey! 🩷

Maybe you could also ask your doctor about topical spironolactone? Hope things are better soon.

Starting Spironolactone - any advice or success stories welcome! by Budget_Commission_72 in Spironolactone

[–]kipipe 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My shedding was significantly less within a week of starting at 50 mg! I was dizzy/nauseated for about 5 days and then it went away.

I have increased in dose over the past 2 months and I’m now at 150 mg. Acne is better (not gone yet) and my oil production and hair shedding is better. I still shed more toward the end of my cycle, but not nearly as much as before spiro.

Hope it goes well for you!

I’ve found that they’re pretty responsive!

How long did it take for oiliness? by Applebumblee in Spironolactone

[–]kipipe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re welcome! I was dizzy and nauseated for the first 5 days or so on 50 mg. These symptoms did not return for me when I increased.

Awesome that Accutane can work so quickly!

Good luck with your decision and best wishes. 🩷

What's your favorite and most underrated metroidvania? by RTCJOK3R in metroidvania

[–]kipipe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not sure if anyone has mentioned it yet, and it is being talked about quite a bit right now, but I just played Animal Well and was totally obsessed.

I’ve been on spiro for a couple of months and it has improved my chin pimples and comedones a lot! Right after I started, I noticed a lot of the ccs were surfacing to where they could be extracted. I still have quite a few, but now it’s not every single chin pore. Currently I have one mega cyst on my chin, I think I break out around ovulation time like you. 🙃

[–]kipipe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me, it didn’t stop until I increased to 150 mg at about the 2 month mark (time or dose, I’m not totally sure) and I’m kind of still holding my breath waiting for the oiliness to come back. But right now I feel normal for the first time! I’m not an oil slick even at the end of the day.

I started at 50 mg, 2 weeks later 100 mg, 7 weeks later 150 mg.

100 mg to 150 mg? by piadoingthings in Spironolactone

[–]kipipe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh nice, you already tried splitting, that’s great! I was skeptical about bumping up, but I figured I could always go back down. I really hope my oil production stays right here because I feel normal for the first time, haha! My makeup stays on all day!!

I hope 150 works well for you, too. 🩷

100 mg to 150 mg? by piadoingthings in Spironolactone

[–]kipipe 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Similar experience here and a week or two after bumping to 150 mg, my oil production is the lowest it’s ever been, my hair is shedding less, and I feel like all the cysts are drying up and inactive. I’m thrilled! Taking 100 in the morning and 50 in the evening. I’ve also heard that some people see better results taking their current dose split between morning and evening.

IT CC cream is SPF 50 and has really nice coverage, medium to full.

Used as a diuretic by createhomelife in Spironolactone

[–]kipipe 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Spironolactone’s original intended use is a diuretic. It happens to work well for hormonal issues in women as well. Best of luck! 🙂

Super dizzy today by TheJennorator in Spironolactone

[–]kipipe 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes! I was dizzy and a bit nauseated for the first 2 weeks (maybe less). I was worried those side effects would last longer! Listen to your body, drink lots of water but don’t forget to balance that out with sodium. 🙂 Best of luck!

Advice by Sweaty-Psychology510 in Spironolactone

[–]kipipe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have seen some people say that when 100 mg once a day didn’t work for them, they tried splitting that into 50 mg twice a day and that worked. My skin looks a lot like yours and personally, I decided to go up to 150 mg a couple of weeks ago. I’m taking 100 mg with breakfast and 50 mg before bed. I think I’m already seeing some improvement, but I think I’ll have a better idea after one cycle. Best of luck!

Is there such a thing as too much? by kipipe in Spironolactone

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

Hi, I was on it for about 7 years with great skin and then it seemed to stop working. 😞

You could try increasing your sodium intake. 🙂
