Re: I got Spiro today!!!yah!!! but...

i'm on 100 mg and my acne is way better but i really want it to slow down my hair growth...for those of you on 150 or higher, how did it affect your hair growth...I'm going to push my endo to up the dose. I can deal with the pee

Re: I got Spiro today!!!yah!!! but...

yes your endo is right about getting rid of body hair you need higher doses if you have a greater amount of body hair than just to get rid of acne.i had severe acne til i went on spiro but it has been 2 years almost to todays date an my skin no longer breaks outs.this is after 2 failed courses of accutane.by the way my doctor told me spiro doesnt prevent male hair loss but combined with avodart will stop hair loss and may actually grow hair.anyways i see spiro getting used more and more in acne once the word gets out.i know if you are seeing a endo you must be getting a blood and liver analysis.if you do go on 200 mgs and your body feels funny you might cut down to 100 mgs and call your endo.while not a huge amount 200 mgs is still more than the normal person but everyone is different and some people have been on 600 mgs a day without any serious side effects but in the most cases 100 mgs is about the avg....some a little higher some lower.

Thanks Joeh...

I've read all your post regarding spiro and I must admit your experience with spiro was one of the reasons I decided to try it For the last 3 days I have been taking 100mgs a day and I haven't noticed any decrease in oil and I am still breaking out (maybe even a little worse than before). When did you first start noticing spiro was working? I was hoping the oil production would have slowed a little but no such luck...I haven't had any side effects so to speak...
