I stopped taking the spiro and had the worst breakout of my life! It was terrible. I went back on the spiro at the 100 mg dose which wasn’t working even after almost 3 months so I went back to the dermo who prescribed some antibiotics and within a week I started to clear up.I also started using the treatment kit from acne.org which is awesome. I can’t say enough good things about it. As of now, my skin looks the best it has in almost a year and it is getting better every day. My body has adjusted to the spiro so I’m not having any side effects and both my skin and hair are no longer oily. Yay!

I’ve been taking the spirinolactone for three weeks now and my skin is all clear! It works really well, but I did play with my dosage quite a bit. I’ve only been taking 25 mg a day – half in the moring, half in the evening and it’s still working. I might just cut back to the morning pill and see if it still works. I wouldn’t recommend this for everyone. Definitely do your homework before taking and listen to what your body is telling you especially if you are prescribed a high dose. My dermatologist normally prescribes 100 mg a day, it’s hard for me to believe that people can tolerate that amount.
Believing in myself and having confidence has always been hard for me. It’s easy to tell myself that I don’t care about what others think of me, but the truth is I do care. Not as much as I used to, because I’m realizing that no one’s opinion should be more important than my own. The last two months I’ve been working really hard to make positive changes in myself and my life. I feel proud of myself and more confident than I’ve felt in a long time. It’s hard sometimes though because it seems like some people don’t want me to feel good about myself. It’s strange and it makes me wonder why.
