Asked By:NoelElf in Baghdad, Baghdad Governorate, Iraq

I started taking spironolactone 50mg twice a day for just one week and had to stop it because I suffered from sever side effects like confusion,nausea,hyperventilation and fainting. that was two months ago and my period has also stopped,I used to get it every 23 days and now I’m worried about it being this late. Is it normal for it to be this late? How do I get my period back ?
