Spironolactone For Acne + Menstruation Q&A

Hi, I have taken 100mg spironalactone for 16 months for adult acne, and 5 months ago increased to 200mg as I was also diagnosed with androgenetic alopecia. I am a little worried as my periods have now become slightly irregular (1-2 bouts of bleeding between periods). Is this ok? I'm worried I'll have to reduce my dose - spironalactone is my only option (I spent 15 years on Dianette and Yasmin until they caused melasma on my forehead). Could you advise me at all please? Many thanks.

I am currently on a prescription of Spironolactone of 50 mg/once a day for hormonal acne. I am also on a 0.180 mg TriNessa birth control daily. Once I began the Spironolactone 2 weeks ago I began to spot and have been since, even though I wasn't on my sugar pills. My period now seems a lot heavier with a lot more side effects.

I am just going to start taking Spiro but my menstural periods started...so can we take Spiro during periods ?

I have been on spiro for almost 4 month. It has absolute started to ruin my life in the past month I've had ridiculous insomnia, mood swings, nausea, fatigue and period spotting for 10 days around the time my period was supposed to start, then 9 days later I started spotting again. Enough for a pantyliner. It has been 5 full days and still spotting. I hate it! Is this normal ?

My dermatologist prescribed spironolactone for my acne. I just started my period and it is very very heavy, more than normal. Is that a side affect from the medication?

I have been taking spironolactone for 3 months. during this time my periods have become very irregular, as in every 15 days. Is this a common side effect?

I have a prescription from my dermatologist for Spironolactone that says on the label to take a few days before each period, but I'm not sure if this makes sense. Reviews of the drug say it is usually prescribed for everyday dosage.
