Title: A question about Spiro
Post by: kira21 ♡♡♡ on May 13, 2013, 05:00:51 PM
Hey hey,

I was just wondering, everyone I have heard on here says spiro makes them go a lot. It has not affected me at all. I go the same as I did
before. Is that OK or should I be worried?

I have just worried about everything recently!

Thanks :-)

I always went a lot before spiro so I really haven't noticed a difference in how many times I go.

Don't worry. Everyone's different :) I personally have not had any of the common side effects - increased urination or dizziness.

Same here. It didn't make me go a lot, but it definitely helped lower my T levels. You're lucky to not have the frequent urination side effects :)

I would say that I am also not experiencing this effect, but I am just starting to take spiro.

No didn't change my wee pattern, and I drink quite a bit of water.

Changing my body hair profile was the major effect and also lowered my blood pressure.

I had to pee really often for the first few days...but now the diuretic effect has worn off.

The only time you should be worried (in regards to peeing) is if your urine is dark, or you have a lot of cramping in your lower legs...aka dehydration.

Other than that...have fun! :)

I just got my spiro last week. :)

It didn't bother me much before, now (at 3 months in) I can't keep from going every couple of hours!

I used to go alot to begin with, but after a few months I started going a few extra times a day.
