I’m dealing with BAD water retention and bloating on aldactone now that I bumped up to 75mg this week. I’ve been on since end of Feb starting with 25mg for two weeks, 50mg for two months, and now 75mg.

I think it started at 50 but now it’s bad. I gained 3lb in two weeks and my stomach is literally distended. I was worried I’m gaining fat but tbh I have no new fat, my legs are literally just bigger like swelling after working out. I’m gassy all the time too and it feels so uncomfortable. I’ve been drinking water, adding electrolytes, no difference so far. I don’t even know how to drink more water without feeling disgusting.

What could help? I need this for my hair and it’s the only anti androgen med I can tolerate (besides this).
