Background
I’ve been taking eplerenone for about 2 months now, but not perfectly consistently. The most consistent stretch I had was 3-4 weeks straight. After that, I missed doses here and there because I started doubting it was working and got discouraged by the lack of obvious results.
What I’ve Noticed So Far
During the 3-week consistent stretch, I did notice what seemed like some results (mainly less bloat in the face)
The problem is I cant tell 100% if it was
The eplerenone kicking in
Placebo / head messing with me
Other factors outside of eplerenone that happened to make me look less bloated around that time (diet, water, stress, sleep, etc.)
Current Dosage / How I take it
First Week: 25mg daily
After that: 50 mg daily
I take two 25 mg tablets in the morning, usually on an empty stomach, and then eat shortly after.
Main Questions:
1. Consistency + Timelines
How long do you need to take eplerenone consistently for it to really work?
Is it something you only notice after weeks, months, etc.?
2. Dosing (50mg vs 100mg+)
Should I stay at 50mg daily, or is it common to increase to 100mg (or higher, like some people mention)?
If you’ve increased your dosage, when did you decide to do it, and what changed?
3. Timing / With food
Does it matter if you take it fasted vs. with food?
Does timing matter (morning vs. night) or splitting the dose?
What I’m Looking For:
Most info I've found online is pretty basic, and I haven't seen many posts that really break down dosing + consistency + timeline in a detailed way. If anyone has experience with this and can share what actually worked for them (and what to monitor), I'd really appreciate it
