Lowering dosage
Hi everyone! So I’m very been on Spironolactone for a year now and it has done wonders for my hormonal acne but like others have shared, it was causing me to feel more tired when working out and it changed how my body looks. It has changed my body in the sense that I just look much more round and squishy mainly on my upper body and I really hate it :( no matter what I do or eat , I always feel bloated and can’t get that lower pooch belly to go down. The hormonal belly is real! All of my clothes fit so weird and my jeans started fitting so tight! Because of this I lowered my dosage from 100mg to 50mg in hopes to get my body back to normal but 1.5 months into taking 50mg I started getting hormonal breakouts again. I’m really hoping it’s just my body adjusting to the new dose but I was curious to hear others experience when lowering their dosage. Did the breakouts come back for a while? Did they go away after a few months? Did you have to go back to your original dosage? My timeline w Spironolactone
Spironolactone dosages in the last 12 months.
- 50mg for the first 3 months
- 100mg for the next 6 month
- Lowered back to 50mg. Coming up on month 3
Thanks everyone 🥹
