to be honest about how i got spironolactone, i researched spiro in the medical literature and decided to start it on my own, at the lowest dose (50 mg/day), and then bought it generic (aldactone) online. i realize this isn't the best way to do it, but i've spent to much money and time with derms and precriptions. anyway i plan to have my blood checked regularly to monitor my potassium (high K+ is very dangerous in terms of cardiac arrhythmias and the way spiro works as a diuretic is to raise K+ levels in the blood.)

Did you ever consider taking birth control pills to balance your hormones? Also, will you ask your doctor to help you monitor your blood levels now that you've ordered this drug on-line.

I believe spiro will mess up your periods if you don't take it with BCP.
