Hi, I visited the clinic here in Augusta Ga 2 weeks ago and started hormones. The clinic was completely free and only took two hours to fill out the consent form, see the doctor and get my prescription. He started me off on 2.5 mg of Primarin and no spiro since my potassium levels are in the normal range but are at the upper normal limit and I was taking a combination beta blocker and diuretic already for my blood pressure. I talked to my normal doctor and we switched out the diuretic with a low dose of spiro 25mg and will see how my body handles it. I did change my diet to a low potassium diet to help. I also take Avodart and have been taking it for about 5 years for my prostate. I'm hoping the Avodart and low dose of spiro will be enough with the estrogen. I see my doctor again in December and will see if we can increase the spiro, then when I see the doctor at the clinic in February, I will see if he will increase the estrogen. Any thoughts on what I am currently taking?
