I’ve been taking spironolactone since 2017. It has been the only thing that has helped my skin not break out. In 2020, I went up to 200 mg and I started to get my period every 2 weeks. At first I thought it was due to my eating disorder, but it wasn’t. I decided to go from 150 mg then to 100 mg and my period started to become regular again, but I started breaking out. My doctor recommended I go back to 200 mg and said “sometimes people are on it for years.”

I just don’t know what to do from here. I love that this medication helps with my hormonal and cystic acne, but I’m tired of the biweekly periods.

Any advice or suggestions would be great!
