Has anyone gained weight from Spironolactone? I’ve been taking it for about a year for hormonal acne and it has been working great on that front—my skin is the clearest it’s ever been—but I’ve gained 10-15 lbs in the same time frame and I’m scared that number is still ticking upward!

Do you think the gain is from spironolactone or change in lifestyle Covid has forced upon us (stress/change of habit/change of diet/etc)?
