Been taking Spironolactone for 2 weeks now. Anyone had the side effect of their palms and bottom of your feet itch?

Um not trying to scare you- but itching is considered a severe side effect. You might be developing an allergy to it. I had to stop taking it because my blood pressure became so low I was dizzy all the time.

Here are the side effects if you'd like to see:

I'd call your doctor but personally I'd consider getting off of it if the itching does not stop OR you notice you have any of the other severe side effects.

waiting on a call back from doctor. thanks for the link. um....yikes!

Yeah it's like I don't want to scare you but I mean it's best to know!

I wish I could take it- I took it for a few weeks then all of a sudden just felt ill, I had palpitations and was very dizzy and weak and I started eating more I guess to compensate (that probably should have been a flag) until finally I couldn't take it. I went to see my doctor and she was like "oh you'll get used to it" and I was like pft and I'm just going to gain all that I lost back so screw that! I ended up gaining like 13 pounds back! I'd rather have a hairy chin thank you very much! lol.

lol.....that is my biggest insecurity (facial hair). Oh well. Guess it might be time to get laser treatments. Was hoping it would ease up with weight loss but seems like it hasnt been effected at all.

Same here! I'd rather get laser than force my body to take a medication it obviously doesn't want.

Also not to freak u out but itching is a sign of liver failure.
