I'm on topical spironolactone and Revivogen. What dangers in the run?

[cyberprimate]

Is there any danger of side effects using these topical anti-androgens?

How much of it is absorbed systematically and could interfere outside the scalp?

after prolonged use you may grow a small bald vagina, in the area where your penis used to reside....

Cool. I've always ambitioned to become a woman with a head full of hair.

All I can tell you is 10 years worth of personal experience.
- After 10 years on Revivogen I have never had any systematic sides
- After 2 months of spironolactone, I felt the onset of gyno. Not the full blown type, just a swelling of the chest accompanied by a dull pain. I stopped the spironolactone and the pain and swelling went away within 4 weeks and I was back to normal. I started again 3 months later to make sure with same result.

- Don't use this as a reason not to take it, I'M prone to this type of side effect. Bottom line is, if you notice any side effects just stop taking it and IMO and experience, will b back to normal in as long as you've been on it.

How long have you been using Revivogen, do you think it's worked well for you?

Just a couple of weeks. I can't really say.

Are you really referring to TOPICAL spironolactone?

I'm using these two in addition with minoxidil. It's working pretty well, even got a compliment from my psychologist recently... No side effects yet, but I'm going to have a doctor's appointment soon just to make sure.

I think I'm getting moobs from spironolactone after two weeks. Today I feel a little tightness in that area and little pain. Something like muscle soreness but hell I cant recall doing anything that could make my chest muscles sore. Well I will continue to use it and see... Might as well be paranoid. No problems with erections or semen volume tho
