"I started taking spiractin 50 mg 10 months ago for alopecia and saw instant results. In 2 weeks, my hair stopped shedding, and I grew back all the hair I had lost in the past 2 years. However, it just stopped working 4 months ago, and now I’m shedding over 200 hairs a day. My dermatologist doubled the dose to 100 mg 2 months ago, but unfortunately it’s made zero impact :("

"Taking 100 mg aldactone daily for two weeks and more hair shedding noticeable. They say it is not approved for hair growth. Should I stop. I was given this for hair loss due to hypothyroidism"

"Worst decision taking Aldactone for alopecia. Took for 10 months and it left my hair worse, it is brittle, dehydrated. I have severe mood swings. Thought it worked initially, but then stopped. I would really make sure you are willing to take risks with this before starting. Dread shed occurs in the beginning and when you stop. Exhaust other measures like vitamin C, iron, L-lysine, B12, selenium. Get your ferritin checked."
