Stopping due to fatigue, anxiety, and dizziness

▫️ 4 Months on Spironolactone ▫️

I’ve been on 50mg since March and had a few weeks where I wasn’t consistent with taking it but overall, felt like it cleared up my mild-moderate acne very well! However, I cannot deal with the extreme fatigue, dizziness, and increased anxiety so I’ve decided to stop taking it. I find that I can’t keep up with how hydrated I need to be and I’m too exhausted to do much. Literally just speaking will sometimes make me dizzy and it’s very unpleasant. I’m not able to do any motions where you go from laying down/squatting/bending to standing without getting very dizzy.

Today is day 1 off of it and I’m still feeling sleepy and dizzy but hoping it improves soon! It definitely worked for me but the side effects just weren’t worth the clear skin in my experience.
