1) I take between 50 - 75 mgs per day. I was prescribed 200 in 100 mg tablets, by the dehydration was killing me at that dosage.

2) I take half a pill, 50mgs, in the morning. And then a quarter around 6pm if I remember. I don't take it any later to try to minimize problems sleeping due to the dehydration.

3) I think I was prescribed Aldactone, but it is filled with a generic.

4) about 2 months.

5) Yes. Skin not oily anymore. very few pimples in remaining problem areas--Back and jawline.

6) In a day or so I think. I was probably too busy suffering from the dehydration headaches to notice.

7) No.

8) Dehydration headaches and inability to sleep due to headaches, thirst and bathroom trips.

9) Female

It is a diuretic. YOU MUST drink alot of water. That will help with your headaches. I know you will say you drink water but drink more.......Don't drink sodas. I was on it and had to drink alot of water. I am going back on it today. After not being on it for 6 months my oil is back and my hair is shedding really bad. So back on it I go.

I thought aldactone was the generic for spiro. Is this true?
