| Pros: | It used to clear up my face... |
| Cons: | None |
| Bottom Line: | I was on Diane35 for a good 7 years and my skin was model perfect. It was gorgeous! Then I lost my health insurance and figured since my face was so clear I could go on a different pill. I was off the Diane for only about 3 months and my face looked horrible!! So I went back on the Diane although it is super expensive, I'm on my 4th pack now and my face is still really bad :( I also started using Proactiv about 1 month ago and no change. I'm getting scared that it won't clear up again. It seems hopless. I really hope that the Diane will kick back in soon and clear up my face again.
I had such good results with this pill a while ago, I really wish I didn't go off it. |

| Pros: | Bigger Boobs, Contraceptive, (gradually) clearning up my skin |
| Cons: | Depressive - caused me to become antisocial, paranoid, loss of self worth |
| Bottom Line: | I have not noticed any weight gain. And I suffer from PCOS so I was prescribed diane mainly to treat my acne. I've been on it for 2 months and I have noticed that my skin has improved. However, it still has a while to go before my skin will be completely clear. I have active acne that is "deep", ie it has been there for a very long time. My doctor told me that skin takes a few months to completely heal so it will probably be 2-3 more months before my skin is completely clear.
The only con is that it has affected my moods. I've become antisocial and paranoid. |

| Pros: | Cleared up skin, larger breasts, non oily skin, better complextion(smoother) |
| Cons: | Crazy bad mood swings (crying randomly and getting mad), tiny bit of weight gain, cost for me |
| Bottom Line: | This really worked on my skin. It good a good three months to kick in but my skin looks ten times better 9 months later....im kind of scared to switch to a lower dosage of birth control just because of the fact of my acne might come back and all that hard work would go to waste. |

| Pros: | none yet but fingers crossed!!!!! |
| Cons: | i'm really moody and snappy at everyone, i am always soo hungry!!!, i,ve gained 2kg in the last month and i have no sex drive at all. |
| Bottom Line: | i have only been using this product for 1 month, i switched to it because i was using doxycycline and that was making me feel really sick. i am so self concious about my skin that i feel it is the only thing people can see when they look at me i just really hope that this product will work for me because i don't want to have to keep applying all of the different creams and goos to my skin that have a minimal effect. i want clear skin more than anything. |

| Pros: | Boobs went up a cup and Im hoping more as I have only been on Dianne for 2months. Skin glowing and old scares healing. |
| Cons: | Weight Gain, price |
| Bottom Line: | I have been on Dianne for a very short while. In just two months I have noticed although, I seam to be getting more pimples, my skin is healing much better and glowing. I think my skin is getting worse before it gets better as they say, cleansing itself. Deeper impurities or "Cystic pimples". So thats fine as this happens after a good regime of regular facials too. Old scares from drug use in earlier stages of my life are disapearing. My boobs are growing, yes tender, but who cares, I believe boobs tend to hurt when they are growing or when your on your period. so as long as they continue to grow I can take a little tenderness. I have polysistic ovarian syndrome so Dianne is very good for the treatment. Overall I think Im very happy. I have put on 5kgs. My friends and fam have always said I was to slim. I am 5ft 1 and weight 45kg. I am now 49kg. But if I only put 5kg on then who cares, again, bigger boobs. |

| Pros: | Totally cleared up my skin! I love it! |
| Cons: | I did gain a bit of weight, but only about 5 lbs, which for clear skin I can live with. Unfortunately I am self employed and with no work supplied health care I pay $42 per month for this product. |
| Bottom Line: | I love it. I have been using it since I was 16 strictly for help with severe acne. I use it daily in addition to Vichy's Normaderm skincare line, and my skin looks model-perfect. I am 30 years old and last year as well as when I was 25 my Doc tried taking me off of it and putting me on Tricyclene and acne came right back. So I am sticking to my Diane 35 as long as I can get a perscription for it :) |
