i was on spiro for a number of years, and recently went off it at the behest of a new endocrinologist last fall. i just want to say that i empathize with your feelings of frustration. at the time, she also switched me from modicon birth control pills to yasmine, so i don't know if it's the yasmine or the lack of spiro that's doing it, but i've just reached my breaking point...since she changed my pharmaceutical regimen, i've put on weight, been breaking out...it's just horrible, and so upsetting. people i confide in don't really understand, because a few pounds and a few pimples don't seem like such a big deal to them. but for people like us who have been coping with these issues for so long, it was such a HUGE EXISTENTIAL RELIEF to for once be the perfect weight, with (mostly) good skin, and a (typically) stable mood. i wish i had never seen this new endocrinologist. everything was great then, and i don't think she'll let me go back on the spiro...
