"i have been on spiro for almost a year now. i was prescribed 50mg a day for issues like cystic hormonal acne and dandruff, all related to seborrheic dermatitis.



in addition to the spiro, i also take ethinyl estradiol based birth control, a generic version of ortho tri cyclen.



since taking the spiro, i haven&#039;t had a single breakout! not even like a tiny blemish. it&#039;s clearly worked as intended. it has minimized scalp issues as well, although my face is still oily but i suspect that is connected to a moisturizer i have yet to find a replacement for.



notable side effect: definite, jiggly weight gain in hips, butt, and thighs that i never had b4! this is contrary to lots of reviews i&#039;ve seen for spiro that say it has helped women lose weight"
