A person with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) had success with spironolactone. It helped regulate their menstrual cycle which was previously very irregular. This was because spironolactone can block the action of androgens that are often elevated in PCOS patients.
There was a case where a man had severe acne due to hormonal issues. Spironolactone was prescribed as part of his treatment. Over time, his acne cleared up.

I've heard many success stories about spironolactone for hair loss. One person I know had been losing a significant amount of hair due to hormonal imbalance.

Sure. One success story is about a person who had high blood pressure. After starting spironolactone, their blood pressure gradually decreased to a normal range. The swelling in their legs, which was a result of the high blood pressure, also disappeared.
Well, some patients have reported really bad hormonal imbalances. Spironolactone is known to affect hormones. For example, some women may have irregular menstrual cycles. It can be very scary when your body's normal rhythm gets disrupted. You might not know when to expect your period, and it can also bring along other hormonal symptoms like mood swings and skin changes. This all can add up to a 'horror story' for those on the drug.

Well, I know of a case where a woman had oligohydramnios. The medical team first tried to find the cause. It turned out to be due to a minor placental issue.

Eventually, the baby was born just fine, which was a great success story for everyone involved.
One example is a person who had bad anxiety attacks. Propranolol helped to reduce the physical symptoms like a racing heart and sweating during the attacks. Another success story is a musician who used to get really nervous before performances. Taking propranolol allowed them to perform without the jitters.

I know an elderly person who had uncontrolled high blood pressure. Once put on amlodipine, it was like a miracle. His blood pressure became more stable, which meant his risk of kidney problems associated with high blood pressure decreased. He was also able to travel more easily, without the fear of his blood pressure spiking during the journey. This drug really changed his life for the better.
A child with ADHD had a hard time in school. Methylphenidate changed that. He could finally sit still in class, listen to the teacher, and remember what he learned. His social life improved too as he could interact better with his peers.
