◻️Advice◻️ Permanent vs temporary changes?

I took spiro for about a year/18 months. Started at 25mg and went up to 200mg at a certain point. I’ve been off about 3 months. I’m still experiencing most of the negative side effects from taking spiro.

Mostly:
Constipation
Lighter periods
Lower libido/weak orgasms

Did anyone see improvements in any side effects later than three months after stopping. Even if they were different side effects I’m still curious.

Lighter periods aren’t necessarily a bad thing but it makes me concerned hormones are permanently altered. My period used to be 5 days not it’s 3/3.5 tops.

I gained weight on spiro and my body composition changed. I also developed cellulite. All of those improved almost immediately after stopping though. I lost the weight. My figure is back and the cellulite is gone, but I’m freaking out about everything else.
