"i was give. spironolactone by my gynocologist for adult acne.  i took the medication for 2 months and it did help somewhat with my hormonal acne.  the only side effect i expeirenced was break through bleeding, but it was so extreme i decided to stop using the medication.  it was like i was on my period every two days.  the bleeding was not just spotting, it was full blown menstral cycle bleeding.  it was to the point that i had to wear coverage daily because i never knew when it would start or stop.  i know two months doesn&#039;t seem like a long time but to me the acne i had was not worth going through that everyday."
