Acne
"I love spironolactone (I take 200mgs a day). I am 46 years old and started with cystic acne at 21 and tried everything: Roaccutane (hideous side effects - an evil drug), Dianette (severe nausea all the time), Retin A (great but burned my skin), oral antibiotics (caused severe and permanent hyperpigmentation).  So as you can see spironolactone is a breeze compared to the others I&#039;ve tried.  I have gained a few pounds and have breakthrough spotting but I do not have a single spot (as long as I wash my make up off!).  It&#039;s been about 4 years and I dread the day my GP tries to stop them (I am in UK)"
