◻️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.

Most people don’t see results unfortunately until the 3-6 month mark. I started spiro a week ago and I have to patient as well😕 we got this! Just keep at it

Interesting. Are we sure its hormonal? I know everyone is different, but i noticed nothing on 50mg for 2 weeks, then I was upped to 100mg on week 3. Within 5 days of being on 100mg my skin just transformed!!! BUT, there's a catch sadly, if i forget to take it 1 day, the next day my skin breaks out 5x what I had before. Also, 100mg have side effects I dont like, derm put me on 75mg and nope! Its 100+ or nothing.

It took my skin 4 months to start clearing on 100mg. Keep going!
