so,
ive decided that im going to do it.
im gonna start with 25mg once a day, and see how that goes for at least a month.
if im feeling good and get no serious side effects than after 1-2 months im going for 25mg twice a day. ill see how that goes for AT LEAST another 2 months.
than if that goes ok, im going for 25mg x 3 times a day for another month or so,
and only than - if everything goes well ofcourse - im going to go for 50mg twice a day / or / 25mg x 4 times a day (because of short half life).


regardless - in going to get some tamoxifen, just in case, as a first aid for if i'd get the beginning of gyno.


in any case im not going to go above a total of 100mg a day.


than if that either - give me severe side effects, or wont do anything good for my hair (after about 2 months on the full dose of 100mg) im going to stop taking it, and consider using it topically.


my regimen also includes -
* 1mg oral finasteride
* 0.5mg oral dutasteride
* tretinoin gel (absorbed well like water and not like a lotion that leaves a residue) which i put after shower at night, followed by this TOPICAL mixture (at least half hour later):
* 15% minoxidil // 0.1% (1mg) finasteride // 0.05% (0.5mg) dutasteride // 10% DMI
* this followed by application of natural progesterone cream on the head and, well - on the balls
* DAILY nizoral shampoo (although i really dont think it really does anything at all)
* i also take some vitamins, minerals & supplements
* last but not least im now beginnig to take 250mg a day of aspirin for a better blood circulation










so
this is it
i hope any experienced spironolactone users would chime in and share their experience and piece of mind.

ok there's some change of plans -
i thought i could cut the 100mg pills i have to 4 (thus getting 25mg piece x 4) but they break into tiny bits...
so im gonna have to wait until i'd get the 25mg pills (gonna order them soon)...

just break it up and scale it with a digital double decimal scale. saves you the waiting time.
