Hi everyone,

About a year ago I tried spironolactone for hair and acne. I noticed after the first few weeks that it started changing my body and weight. I used to be athletic and fit (I’m a woman, 32 now). I noticed loss of muscle mass and a more feminine physique, weight gain, larger breasts and hips, stomach, cellulite. Never had that in my life, always been an athlete.

I stopped taking it.. a year later no matter what I do I can’t lose these 20 pounds or the body changes. No matter what I eat, how much working out.

Any advice on what to do? I saw a few posts and articles that it permanently can change your alleles?

Has anyone else seen this?
