I have been taking spironolactone for about 2 months now, 50 mg twice a day. My last 2 periods came a few days sooner that I was expecting, but that was no bid deal. Today I started bleeding again, and I just finished my period a little over a week ago. Is this normal? Has anyone else had problems with their cycle after taking spiro? Do things go back to normal eventually, or will this be how it is for now on?
breakthrough bleeding and fluctuations in your menstrual cycle are a common side effect of Spiro. Many docs who prescribe Spiro also recommend a woman be on birth control pills to help regulate things. I've been taking 200mg of Spiro (and birth control pills) and my cycle has been completely the same as it was before I started spiro. I'm not really sure if things will normalize after awhile. My guess would be yes since it works on blood levels of hormone and after a few months things might have settled down. If you're concerned, I'd talk to your doc or the pharmacist. good luck!
what dosage are you currently taking? And are you currently clear? I'm on 100mg 4 month going on to 5 now and this month I've noticed a drastic decrease in OIL.. before my hair would be a grease ball half way through the day and now it's just dry and managable.. amazing!!! My skin isn't dry by any means but it's not a grease ball and it's just like a dewy kiss glow. For the past 3 months I've had periods twice in a month and I'm hoping it'd get sorted out by itself too! It's soo frustrating... more periods or clearer skin???? lol
