Made hair come in slower, no longer taking because I am trying to become pregnant.

I had to start low and work my way up- kidney pain. I think this drug has helped with my mood swings and I think it might make me sleepy- I am now trying it in the evenings. We are doing this to see if we can get my hair to grow back :)

This worked wonders for me, I am surprised that other people aren't prescribed this. I am on Yaz right now and it is only half as helpful as the spironolactone.
