Unhappy Spironolactone-has anyone taken it?

Hi. I've posted here before regarding another blood pressure med that I had a severe reaction to. Now my doctor has changed my med to Spironolactone. It made me a bit dizzy the first 3 days, (I am into the 4th day) but every day I have had diarreah with it. I get bile salts diarreah in the mornings anyway, but now I have this watery stool all afternoon and I know it has to be from the Spironolactone. Has anyone taken this medciation and how long does it take to adjust to it? I have already missed 4 days of work because I am so dizzy and fatigued. I'm only taking 12.5 mg. to start because of the reaction to the beta blocker last week.
Thank you in advance for any responses you might be able to share. J

I wanted to add that Spironolactone is the generic brand for Aldactone. Thank you.
