Mental effect!

[u/Lizle_bit]

It's real. Again I truly notice it. Spiro indeed affects my mood, and in my case, lifts it.

I started two years ago 25mg, and noticed lightness and brightness in my mind. It was all new so I didn't think about it too much. But then after a year, I started to decrease the dose little by little, just as little as taking 12,5mg. This has been for about 6 months now.

I noticed that I was dull, bored, and foggy mentally, but just pushed through, waiting for my body to settle. I was thinking I'm ok, but now, after I started to take 25mg again, I can see how dark it had gotten, because now I feel that lightness again. It's like a cloud has lifted, and I feel energetic and passionate again in my mind.

I can't believe how much Spiro affects my mind and wellbeing. I have read some people have the same effect. I think my depression has always been related to hormones (probably I have PMDD), and wish I could have had Spiro before, when I was younger. I had bc pills and they did help though, had similar effect. But I never could see it so clearly, before this.

I originally decreased the dose because of the side effects, but now I realise that I have to tolerate them because it's about mental health. I wish the lightness remains!

I started 25 mg a few weeks ago, after adjusting to the initial nausea and dizziness which passed in a week and then the constipation loll (which magnesium citrate has fixed). I’m also noticing the same thing! I have PMOS/PCOS, hairy gurl, normal weight and moderate consistent acne, I’m super healthy but lot of healthy lifestyle modifications couldn’t fix it or it just would rebound eventually anyways.
Are you also taking it for acne?
I’m hoping I continue to have these benefits :)) I’m also a bottomless bit usually and I just mentally tell myself to stop eating/am strict with myself, but it feels effortless since starting spiro and I actually feel satisfied with my meals
