oh my...I had the same problem. Tried many things to control my acne. Then I asked my doctor about spironolactone. She prescribed me 25mg a day and I saw a little improvement....then I was bumped up to 50mg a day and saw a little more improvement. Now I am bumped up to 100mg a day (for the last 8 months) and am completely clear. I get tiny little blemishes once a month (PMS) but they do not bother me. I have no side effects. And not too mention this is a cheap medication. I pay $15 a month!

Good Luck
