Yo I’m in the same boat as you quineapig. Basically the same story the same regimen the same aggressive Hair loss experience same body type and same side effects or lack of side effects. Except I was lucky to have spironolactone work for 4 years. There are times just about every 3 months where I felt testosterone taking over and HairLoss increasing but it goes away for a while and cycle repeats. Recently my temples have been shot to sh*t and hair isn’t how it was a year ago. Though Right now My HairLoss isn’t as aggressive as it was when I was 22 but who knows maybe soon it will be. I’m thinking about adding estradiol to my regimen but realize that most likely that will stop working over time as well if it does help me at all. Or start shaving my head again tossing everything and let nature do its thing cause fighting this sh*t seems to be no end, and cutting my junk off is not going to happen.
waiiit waiiit waiiiit - I've read about you. You had an incredible recovery. I started spironolactone a few months ago and I have those cycles too! My skin gets drier (which is amazing), sex drive is OK, I don't have significant gyno (but something) and then boom we get oily and break out again. This doesn't make any sense since we dose the same way and spironolactone operates as a receptor blocker. It actually marginally increased my T as opposed to dropping it. In fact, I'm told that this is but the onset of the medication (it's been 7 months - and by 8 it should even out).
I'm upset to hear that this drug doesn't even work consistently over time.
