I'm taking Aldactone for PCOS and was exhausted with terrible headaches for the first few months. I have taken this medication on 2 different occasions so I had to forced myself to stick it out because it does work but getting used to it was the tough part. After the first few months my body adjusted and all was well minus breast distention and occasional tiredness.

I took aldactone (50mg / day) for a little over 6 years for the excess hair growth associated with PCOS. It did make the hair issue much better. About a year into taking it I wasn't sure it was working, so I stopped taking it. All my old facial hair grew back while off of it, so I started back up again.
I had no problems with the medication at all - or so I thought. I have had dizzy spells for years, especially after standing up from sitting or squatting, to the point where I would almost fall over or black out. For 6 years I went on like this, thinking it was no big deal until I went to a new doctor and he mentioned that my blood pressure was low 90/60 (Usually the nurse would say "you're BP is low, that's good") and he asked me if I ever got dizzy spells and I said yes all the time. He told me to stop taking the spironalactone NOW because REALLY LOW bp can cause damage to your organs. Now that I have stopped, my face is more hairy but I'm not dizzy anymore.
It works for PCOS, but keep an eye on your BP.

extreme fatigue and after having a partial hysterectomy which left my ovaries I was not advised my ovaries would disappear which is what they did...and aldactone caused weight gain and irritability.
It also caused severe anemia which came back in my cbc blood test...I was so tired I thought I was dieing...
On it for 6 years skin did clear but minocyccline is much safer and better.

Aldactone Chemical Information
spironolactone - A synthetic 17-spironolactone corticosteroid with potassium-sparing diuretic, antihypertensive, and antiandrogen activities. Spironolactone competitively inhibits adrenocortical hormone aldosterone activity in the distal renal tubules, myocardium, and vasculature. This agent may inhibit the pathophysiologic effects of aldosterone produced in excess by various types of malignant and benign tumors. (NCI04)
