The several things it ultimately does to you you mean? Or just the super obvious - chemical castration in doses sufficient to have any noticeable effect on your dht conversion rate.
I'm not sure I'd trust your doctor at this point, Lenneth.
It ultimately makes you dependent upon it as well, due to its potassium-sparing diuretic attributes. Makes you take in more sodium to compensate, but as soon as you stop the spiro... BAM!
You literally have to be eased off of spiro, otherwise you WILL go into shock from the sudden sodium OD.
Best to never be put on it in the first place IMO...
