"at first i thought this was a miracle drug because it cleared up my hormonal cystic acne fast. my skin was flawless after just one month. however, the side effects were terrible. i was so lethargic i could barely do anything, i would sleep most of the day, always lightheaded, my cycle was completely out of whack, and i gained weight like crazy. i just didn&rsquo;t feel right at all. when i went back to my doctor, she said spiro can&rsquo;t be the culprit of all my side effects (mainly the weight gain) and so she kept me on it, but lowered it from 100mg to 50mg. i disagreed and stopped taking it. after a week of being off of it, my energy &amp; happiness totally returned. my skin is no longer perfect but i&rsquo;d rather have acne than be fat and lifeless."
