I had the same side effect from spiro. I mean I completely lost my drive and had a severe case of vaginal dryness. It was horrible. I took myself off of the drug. Too much!! I started drinking spearmint tea and yes it helps with the hair, but too much of it also causes your sex drive to lag also. I was drinking like 20 oz every other day or 3 times a week. I finally stop drinking that and bought some extra tweezers. I'll pluck the hair before I risk my man going somewhere else to get him some lovin'. The scalp hair has thinned some since stopping the meds, but not that bad. Since I've changed my eating habits, both the facial hair and scalp hair hasn't gotten any worse not any better either really.
