Title: Another fast effect on spiro
Post by: MugwortPsychonaut on January 01, 2014, 04:54:37 PM
I've been on spironolactone for a month now, and... My... Nipples... Are... Sore! They have been for the past week or more.

I really thought this sort of thing would take longer to happen, especially on spiro alone.

Spiro worked quickly for me. Within 3 weeks of starting spiro, I had complete breasts.

Unfortunately, I haven't had a millimeter of growth since then, so I'm firmly stuck in the itty bitty titty committee.

How long ago was that Suzie? Where you or are you on any E to go with?

I would have to add my name to the rastor of fast Spiro effects. With in 3 weeks my nipples and general breast area was sore. Nipple soarness has just inteasified over time

My doctor is really cautious. I started low dose E in January of last year. He upped my dose a bit in Feb. but still didn't like the levels in May, so he gave me the maximum dose of E and started Spiro. That's when I got the breast growth.

My nipples are still sore and itchy, but haven't managed any growth since then.

Interesting. I heard it can take a few years for full development. But would have thought there would have been some growth by now.

I'm not a doctor, don't play one on TV, heck I didn't even stay in a Holiday Inn last night neither. But you may have a high natural estrogen level which now has a chance to do some work now that your T is dropping. Interesting.
