I can understand your uncertainty honey. I'm no expert of course, but you may find something useful to look at in this Search I did - 'Spironolactone and/vs. PCOS'....it came up with these two sets of results:

I think you should get a second opinion from a different doc.
Re: Doc won't prescribe Spironolactone until I get on birth control
it's also possible the birth control will help enough by itself that you wont need the other stuff.
certainly get a second opinion, but think about the BC.

Oh this is interesting. Is this in the States? Because I was thinking of asking my derm about it, for the very reason that birth control is okay for my skin but I cannot STAND the weight gain.

Im not on the pill and my doc still prescribed it. I also do not have to get blood tests... that part worries me (mainly cause I am a worrier), but he is a really good dermatologist so I assume he knows what he is doing.
