"since i&#039;m now in my 30s and always take good care of my skin, my doctor thought my acne was probably hormone related so she wanted me to try spironolactone, 2 pills a day. she said it takes 3 months to start noticing a difference, however, i didn&#039;t get that far to see if there would be one, i quit at the 2 month mark due to all the side effects i was experiencing. those side effects included the typical ones, such as upset stomach, dizziness and very low energy/drowsiness. then more serious: upper lip numbness, rapid weight gain, cellulite &amp; horrible breast pain. not worth it."
