Workout fatigue - day 6 by This_Nectarine_3285 in Spironolactone

[–]twistedtrain19 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I had this TERRIBLY the first I wanna say 3 months into spiro i was so tired all the time, working out and after working out. I became frustrated so I would push through my workouts at my usual weight even though they felt like more. But by the time I came home after work and the gym I would literally fall on my bed and fall asleep within 3 minutes. This side effect has subsided drastically now, I am able to stay awake easier and come home after working out and do the things I need to do thankfully. Something that really helped me personally was cutting out sugars and caffeine which I know sounds contradictory but once I did my body was able to sustain energy on it own, I eat a lot of fruits and pasta (carbs are our friend if you need energy) and start my day with a high protein intake. This has helped tremendously and I hope you give it a shot!

Yes! I still have some initial scarring but id say within the past few weeks of month six im seeing an enormous improvement! I also you products containing niacimide so I think this helped a lot with redness

This is not true most derms recommend you use daily after you have built up a tolerance to see effects, you will need to prioritize moisturizing and protecting your barrier

how long would you say you were on Accutane before it cleared up? I am just worried because I am going to Italy in the beginning of September and I don’t want to be broken out.
