I trust her judgement with placing me on both of those medications, but what worries me is that it may be too much of a hormone change for my
body. I know that birth control pills increase estrogen levels in the
body and that spironolactone is an antiandrogen drug, and naturally the body will replace androgens with estrogen. I'm scared that my already slow metabolism will slow down further with these medications and that I'll gain weight that I worked so hard to lose.
