"i have been on spiro at 100mg for about seven months. first, the plus side is that i have had almost no side effects. i only experienced side effects when i temporarily increased my dosage to 150mg to control a bad outbreak. even then, the side effects were just headaches and having to pee a lot. 

the down side is that it never fully cleared my acne. where i started spiro, i would say i had moderate acne, which i&#039;ve had since middle school (i&#039;m 18 now). i now have mild-moderate acne, depending on the day. the last few months i haven&#039;t had a single completely clear day. overall, i&#039;m disappointed. this was supposed to be the thing that finally worked."
