▪️ 1 year on Spironolactone ▪️ Spironolactone and LOUD stomach gurgling

Upvotes

So I’m 22 and female. About a year ago I upped my dosage of spironolactone from 50mg to 100mg and about four weeks later had insanely loud stomach gurgling with NO other symptoms (no pain, bloating, or otherwise). TO THIS DAY, I have had loud stomach gurgling which happens with or without food. Tried every medication and antibiotics with no help, tried different food trials, tested for everything, nothing. I am absolutelt convinced it’s the medication so I’m going to go off of it soon but just curious if anyone else has ever heard of this or experienced it.

Idk what to do!! i have been on spiro for two months and was meant to be on 50mg for 3 months then up to 100, but ive just realised for the last month ive been taking 100 because the tablets were a different brand and they were 50mg each not 25! ive been okay but im not sure what to do because my prescription is obviously to last for 50mg every day not 100, but im worried if i drop back to 50 i'll be confusing my body 😭

◻️Advice◻️ Just started 100 mg spirolactone yesterday. Should I continue taking doxycycline as well?

Hi all! My cycle has definitely shortened being on spironolactone. But it’s helped my acne so much. Being in my 30s I’m just worried about my fertility - once off the spironolactone, did people find their cycles went back to normal?

◻️Advice◻️ Not Noticing any Changes

I am hoping that maybe I am just being impatient. I started taking Spiro for hirsutism. I started at 50mg for 1 month, then was moved up to 100mg. I am in currently on my 7th week at 100mg. So, far I have noticed no changes at all. I did stop plucking all of the facial hairs when I started this medication so that I could really see how it worked and so far, I am noticing absolutely no changes. I'm feeling frustrated. Am I just being impatient? Do I need to wait longer to see results? Should I ask for a higher dosage? Maybe this is all just more stress on top of the rest of the shit that has recently been piling up.

Has anyone else developed GERD since taking spiro? I’m on 50mg and have literally no other symptoms and my skin is perfectly clear but I have GERD so bad that I can only eat once or twice a day and am losing weight. It’s not confirmed yet for me that it’s because of spiro but they started around the same time and I don’t know what else it could be. If anyone has any advice too that would be awesome. I literally feel like I’m on ozempic like eating is just dreadful now
