in desperation i found this website! I appreciate everyone's input. I'm an adult too old to have/battle acne, severe at times. After reading lots of your posts, i went to ebay and ordered extra-strength clear&smooth, and a tube of acnomel. I tried proactiv 5 yrs ago; it worked for months, but think my skin got used to it. Last year i finally saw a dermatologist, who prescribed aldactone. mg, the first week it cleared up. However after a week on the med. i got so ill from it i went off of it. I stayed acne-free for an entire month, then it returned, i tried the Aldactone again for 3 days and again it made me so weak i could barely get up and walk across the room.
I'm getting desparate again and thought i'd buy the Aldactone on the internet... but WANTED TO KNOW IF ANYONE else has had side effects from it. Luckily both attempts of mine last year were on my time off & was staying at my moms, or I would have to have taken sick leave...i had NO strength, no energy, not even enough to breathe at times. I'm a runner- and energy-loaded, so this was quite alarming/ wondering if it was because of the summer heat, or the stress of being away from home- but i just layed out there on mom's couch for days.
Has anyone had a similar reaction to Aldactone? I can't find ANY info about this drug's side-effects treating ACNE, on the internet. I want to avoid the effects but the acne is OUT OF HAND. Any input i'd appreciate and deem VALUALBE!! Thank you!
