Anyone used Spironolactone?

[Enchanted]

I went to my Dr today and discussed my "hair" issues with him. He has suggested I try Spironolactone and told me that it won't give me results straight away but to give it a few months and I should see an improvement. I am going to fill the script tomorrow and am just curious as to how other women went on this?

TIA

Sorry just bumping, seems to have fallen off the new posts list.

I was on Aldactone for a few months, I noticed my chin hair grew slower (Im plucking every bloody 2nd day now!) and only nairing my moustache every 3 days, I dont have PCOS tho - must be the mediterranean blood through my veins.

My Dr did warn me, to ensure i do NOT fall pregnant while on these meds as its designed to suppress the testosterone in your body.

I hope this works for you.

Thanks for your feedback! Yes, there will be no babies here... factory is closed at the moment. I have Implanon in my arm, so super dooper minimal chance of that happening!
Off to get them this morning.... a little excited I must say!

I used it for a while a few years ago and while it slowed and thinned the hair growth it wasnt as effective as I hoped.

I did still have to nair and pluck but not as much so I guess thats a good thing.

Laser is apparently effective for hirsutisim but sadly not in our budget. Good luck I hope it gives you some joy.

Ive been on it for 2 months and Im already noticing the difference the doctor said it could take up to 6 months so Im stoked!!

Wow, that's awesome PO5. I would be stoked if that happened here!

FM- If it only slows the hair growth I will be happy. It drives me mental, I could pluck, wax and shave all day!
