Re: Spironolactone works for acne!

That's great news! I can certainly relate to skin problems...I've been battling acne since age 12 and now I'm almost 36 (yipes!). One of my friends does very well with Spironolactone, Orthotricyclen, and topical Cleocin gel. I've been on Accutane twice, and numerous antibiotics over the years. Now I'm on Orthotricyclen and Retin-A cream, and this seems to keep my skin under relatively good control.

Just wanted to let you all know that I have finally found success in getting my skin to start clearing up.. After being on 60 mg/day of acccutane for 5 months, then retin-a, cleocin and 200 mg.day of minocin for 4 months, then on 2000mg.day of glucophage for 3 months, only being on 100 mg./day of spironolactone for the past 5 weeks has been a miracle for me! I just wish I hadn't wasted a year and a half of time (and hiding out many times)to find the proper treatment. I;m still on the minocin too but am thinking of stoping soon to see if the spiro can work alone..
