This is the first time I've heard about Aldactone being an option for excess hair growth. Anyone have positive outcomes with this medication??
Can you take that if your trying to get pregnant?
Is anyone prescribed aldactone? Mine has a minty taste to it and the thought of it makes me sick to my stomach so im unable to take it!
Mine also has a minty taste. Perhaps try taking it with something like orange juice, so it’ll most likely cancel any other flavors.
Hi ,
I’m just new to the group, just been diagnosed with pcos , and was wondering anyone could suggest anything for front balding and thinning of the hair?
Thanks
Aldactone ,birth control pill and rogaine
What product did you use? (That helped the most) and if it was by mouth, did it affect growth of other body hairs?
Have you tried taking aldactone and the birth control pill? Both will help with hairless but it will take a few months to work
How much do you have to take to see improvement?
I am taking this medication, but still have major thick facial hairs along my jawline and neck (I have to shave daily - it's embarrassing!) and my acne is always acting up.
This is after just once!!
I suffer from huge ups and downs with depression and my mother wants me to take something for it and I used to take Wellbutrin but I felt it didn't work, i was hoping that maybe anyone might be taking something like it and wanted to know if it is helping you.
I take 100mg sertraline tablets for my depression, but it was diagnosed before I was diagnosed with PCOS.
I'm also on 500mg metformin twice a day and simvastatins, 20mg.
I suffer really badly with facial Hair, waxing doesnt work, shaving makes it worse and i dont have the money for laser removal, do you ladies know of anything natural i can buy or try to help?
I feel more manly each day because if this😩
I use PCOS Naturals facial hair stuff. I don't have 2 shave but every 3-4 weeks...even then it's only a few hairs I can pluck. U should check them out www.pcosnaturals.com
My daughter, ages 18, is taking spirolocatone 100mg to help her hair grow as it has been thinning very quickly since February. Havent really seen many signs of improvement. Is this dosage strong enough? I do hope so? She was on 50mg but increased it to 100mg in September. Thank you.

Hi!!! I just got diagnosed friday PCOS. My doc prescribed me on spironolactone. I need to grab it from the pharmacy and start it.
Before i start i wanted to ask if anyone has any experiences with it? My doc said it does cause weight gain but if you watch your calories you should be fine.
I am ok with a few lbs, but want to hear you ladies and thoughts? How did this medicine treat you and feel? Did you gain weight in your tummy arms? I also have been diagnosed with hirtusim so i wouldnt mind a… read more
Yes, back in the day, it kinda worked for me, you must also have a good skin regimen. Drink lots of water and avoid salt. It also effects your potassium levels.
