Hi!
I'm on 100 mg Spironolactone & ortho tri-cyclen because of all the PCOS symptoms.. irregular heavy periods, acne, hirsutism, etc. My doctor told me I can wait to see if I have PCOS until I want to have chitlins, but I am tired of taking Spironolactone... I haven't noticed any lightening or lessening of body hair (however, I've had a lot of it lasered off). I don't know what effect it has had on my acne (I know it didn't stop it because I take minocycline for that, and tried to stop taking it and it came back) Do you know of anyone who has stopped taking Spironolactone and taken L-taurine instead? If I take that instead will a fresh crop of hair sprout up? Will it be bad for my (possible) PCOS?

since taking Spironolactone & ortho-tricyclen I started getting cavities (never had any before in my life) and gained weight.. I have NO IDEA what it's doing to my bones!
