The redness of my face decreased but my period is haywire and heavy and frequent (2x month) and I think its due to Spiro. I am so tired as a result. I also hate getting the frequent bloodwork (which dr. office probably likes extra visits $$). I believe my acne is hormonal and spending tons of money at dr's office will little holistic advice. I plan to stop Dorax and Spiro and just use topical treatment and natural progesterone cream to control my heavy period bleeding. A good read at my age (47) is What Your Dr. May Not Tell You About Pre-Menopause. I also think its messed up when more hormone meds (birth control pills)are prescribed in tandem with Spiro to balance the irregular periods. It is toxic to body, so much synthetic hormones ...

I was given this medicine to treat hormonal acne. it works great. a little dizzy at times. Has anyone noticed it changes the way certain foods taste? I can no longer eat a few foods I enjoy because it tastes bad to me since taking this medicine. Anyone else have this issue?

Within a week, the hair loss ceased quite a bit, but now, a year later, I am having the same hair loss again even though I am still taking the medication.

Within a week, the hair loss ceased quite a bit, but now, a year later, I am having the same hair loss again even though I am still taking the medication. So I stopped taking it in the hope that because my B-12 levels and hormone levels have come back to normal, that maybe I don't need it any longer. Now I am wondering if I should instead double the dosage. It was prescribed for me, but am not certain what to do. The dr who prescribed it had doubled me up on the supplement that caused the hair loss in the first place. I am not confident that he is accurate. in doubling the dosage.
