I'm dropping the spironolactone too. Only been on it for a month and have been using it only once a day because even at night that smell permeates. I'm sick of it. It's not bad, but distinct, kind of like wearing the same cologne to bed day after day it just gets tiring.
The main reason is not that I personally found the smell distasteful, but moreso when I get a stable girlfriend again I just don't want to have to sit her down and say, hey, guess what... before you sleep over for the first time and we screw like rabbits, I have to put this sh*t on my head first that kind of smells. Better get used to it baby, because I have to use it every damn night or this hair you have fallen in love with will all fall out.
It is just not going to work out, man. I mean, in the short term you can get around it, hide it, but on a long term, recurring basis, it is just not compatible with my lifestyle.
Unicron, I'm on the 2% which is supposed to be the most odiferous. The 5% is supposed to be odorless, but comes in a cream vehicle which seems like it would be messy and greasy. I suppose it comes down to whether your girlfriend or potential girlfriend would rather bed down with a skunkhead or a greasehead? Then again, they might find it very sexy? And on the oft chance that you have a skunkfucking fetish, it might be your holy grail? buwahaha!
