Weight gaining, blotting etc

I’ve been taking spironolactone for about 4 months for PCOS, hyperandrogenism, and acne. And over these 4 months, I’ve realized that I’ve actually gained 6 kilos. My acne has improved, but not significantly more than when I wasn’t taking it. What really bothers me is that I’ve gained a lot of weight and developed a lot of cellulite, and it’s the kind of weight that’s really hard to lose. I’m also blotted and always constipated since I’ve increased the dose.

For context, I’m on 100 mg, 23y and I honestly don’t understand the weight gain because my diet hasn’t changed. I eat a lot of vegetables, I drink plenty of water. Everything was fine during the first 2–3 months, but starting from the 4th month, I began to feel it. I feel heavier, my legs feel heavier. The fatigue was already there before, but it’s still hard to deal with.

I just wanted to know if anyone else has experienced the same side effects, because it’s honestly quite difficult to manage. Especially since I used to be severely overweight, and I worked extremely hard to lose it. And now, nothing stresses me out more than gaining 5 kilos — but the problem is, I’ve already gained them.

I go to the gym and all that but nothing seems to work. I though about decreasing the dose to 50mg but I’ll take any advice that you guys can give me. I’m desperate.

Thank u
