Rating | Reason | Side Effects | Comments | Sex | Age | Time Taken and Dosage | Date Added | |
3 | Acne | Night sweats if I work out during the day. | I take this in addition to Aczone (topical treatment). The Aczone seems to prevent the little ones and the Spironolactone helps with the cyst type acne. Spironolactone seemed to work right away. I called it my miracle pill! 22 years of acne finally GONE. BUT...this week (the 5th week of taking it) I have broken out with both types of acne. I'm not sure if its the intense stress or because I started eating eggs again (both caused me to break out before this medication) or if it just isn't working anymore or if I need an increase in dosage? Will cut out eggs to see if that helps. Stress is unavoidable at this time. | F | 36 | 5 weeks 50 MG 1X D | 8/22/2013 | |

3 | Acne | Night sweats if I work out during the day, body acne (when I had none before), and I seem to be gaining weight and I always feel bloated. Will try to update in a month to see if I really am gaining weight from this pill. Not looking good. Oh something else - about the same time that I started this pill (and Aczone), I developed Keratosis Pilaris (chronic skin condition) which was pretty devastating. I know the skin condition is genetic but it is weird it happened at the same time I started this acne medication. | I take this in addition to Aczone (topical treatment).
