[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Spironolactone is the only thing that helped me. I’ve taken it for years and recently tapered from 100mg to 50mg daily. I’m 42. [/quote] +1 This is the answer. I recently tapered from 50 mg to 25.[/quote] I hate to tell you, but 25 mg isn't really therapeutic. My derm tapered me to that and I got a ton of cysts a couple months later once the dose settled. I ended up clearing with salicylic acid and quitting the spiro altogether. [/quote] Who are you to judge what does and does not work for some one? What works for PP may not work for you - you may be larger, than her have different hormonal levels, etc.[/quote] I have a healthcare background. I cannot find any medical data out there suggesting 25 mg is therapeutic. There's some references to that dose as a test starting dose before titrating up, but I can't find anything suggesting that dose for long term control. If you can, let me know. [/quote]
