"i decided on mirena as my birth control of choice and i thought i&#039;d found my match after some bad side effect with yaz. i loved having an iud and for the most part i did not have any side effects... besides the acne. insane breakouts that were debilitating. i thought this was behind me being 23, and as a sales woman it was embarrassing. i&#039;d tried everything under the sun in my teens to no avail. my derm put me on spironolactone sept 2015 and my skin experienced a miracle. my face is glowing, i still have some breakouts around my period, but besides that i am impressed. i&#039;ve also lost weight (125lb to 116lb) which is amazing and i can even see hair growth on my thin spots. this drug is a miracle and i will preach it from the rooftops!!!!"
