"35 years old.  i&#039;ve been on spironolactone for about 7 weeks now.  i began noticing changes right around week 4.  my skin is almost as clear as it was years ago when i was on accutane.  pretty much no side effects as of yet (knock on wood).  i&#039;ve been on every medication possible and nothing worked.  finally i went to a new dermatologist who prescribed spironolactone and i wish i would&#039;ve found this sooner.  i rarely get a pimple now and the only one that i have gotten has been really tiny and has gone away after a day.   i hope the success continues."
