What’s your experience with Spiro for hormonal acne and bloat?

I used to have pretty bad acne, but was able to clear it up by switching my diet and eating a lot healthier. I also lost 50lbs. and felt healthier all around. I really cut back on carbs, focused most of my eating on veggies and weighted my day so my meals started big for breakfast and small for dinner. I make sure I keep small healthy snacks around pre-portioned out to keep from getting hungry. I know this wasn’t really the answer to your question, but wanted to throw a non-drug option into the conversation. Everyone has a different journey, good luck!

Did wonders for my acne, also can confirm it will make you pee more. I don’t notice bloat but when I started it I did gain some weight, though jury is out on whether that just happened to coincide with starting a job and sitting at a desk all day...

Spiro has been a miracle for my cystic hormonal acne. While it has helped my acne, hirsutism and thin hair 💇🏻‍♀️, it has hurt my sex drive🍆✂️. So overall, I have mixed feelings about it.

Starting Spiro was uncomfortable. So much peeing and dizziness. Luckily the feeling only lasted a week after I started and after any change in dosing.

I’ve been taking it for over a year. It’s really helped my acne and hasn’t given me major side effects. Sex drives been a little down but not terribly

I was put on it for acne, and had a total opposite experience from most people. It didn't clear up my skin, made me gain 15 pounds in two months, and caused joint pain and hair loss. I will never touch that stuff again.

My daughter takes it for PCOS. She says it doesn’t help her acne.

The birth control pill she takes is supposed to help the acne too.

I take it, and it’s effective for me (for hormonal acne specifically). Be aware that it’s a diuretic, so you’ll pee more. I started on 50mg, then bumped up to 100mg (my derm said he usually recommends that dose), but then went back down to 50 to mitigate the side effects.

I take doxycycline. It works.

It works great for me. But yes you will have to pee every 30 minutes

I’ve been taking it for about 4 months at 100mg and it’s the only thing that’s been able to help my skin. It took a long time to see results, though. I recommend it, just have to have patience.

Didn’t work for me. Baby did.

Thankfully, my boss helps me out & emails the people I need when I tell her no one responds but they’ll answer her in 2 mins or less when she sends it. Though I’m happy she’s helping, it’s such a pain in the ass to wait around.
