Скачать или смотреть My Spironolactone Journey: 3 Month After Stopping

It’s been about 3–4 months since I stopped spironolactone.
And honestly? No surprises here—because I recently read a study showing 32% of women experience acne relapse after stopping. So… I’m in good company.

Months 1–2 were rough.
My skin was a wreck—angry cysts, intense breakouts, and a period so heavy it felt like a personal vendetta.

But around month 3, things started to shift.
Not perfect,but more manageable.

Here’s what I’ve been doing to support the transition:

🌿 Supplements + natural treatments to mimic some of spiro’s effects (inositol has been a big part of that)

💡 Daily LED therapy (10 min, no excuses) to help with inflammation + pigmentation

🧖‍♀️ Monthly in-office treatments—more chemical peels, fewer extractions

🏋️‍♀️ Strength training—while i hate it, its a must for women with PCOS

🍵 Swapped water for tea—usually green tea with raspberry leaf, jujube seeds, goji berries, and whatever other antioxidant powerhouses I have on hand

It’s not an overnight fix.
But it finally feels like my skin and hormones are recalibrating.

If you’re here too—trying to figure it out without panic or perfection—I see you.🤍
