| 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 :) |

| Pros: | Has really cleared my skin, so far effective contraceptive no more excruciatingly painful periods YAY |
| Cons: | slight weight gain but it is possible to lose, it takes a while to really start working (6 months was when i really starting noticing skin improvement) slight moodieness a little depressed nothing worse than usual PMS its just not in a pattern. Price |
| Bottom Line: | Yes its got a few negatives but give me a little weight gain(which is not hard to lose thank god) and moodiness for clear skin and no more painful periods any day. If you dont need something to clear your skin their are cheaper possibly better alternatives for you though. |

| Pros: | birth control |
| Cons: | mood swings, no weight gain but am exercising every day and not losing any either |
| Bottom Line: | i was prescribed this pill by my dermatologist after suffering from acne caused by the use of another medication. i have been on diane 35 for 2 and a half months and it has been hell although i remain positive so start seeing results after the 3 months mark. i havnt had any serious side effects only feeling emotional and moody at times but i think that is all to do with the fact that i am having trouble coping with the way i look.
i read these reviews all the time and i think people need to give the medication time to work, i know how horrible it is to deal with having acne but just try to remain positive. its a waiting game and there is nothing more you can do. remember to do only what the doctor or dermatologist has told your to and not try too many things at once out of desperation.
i am so desperate to finally see results, hopefully in the next couple of weeks i should!!! |

| Pros: | Larger breasts, clearer skin.. |
| Cons: | many headsches, mood swings, severe fatigue, and terrible weight gain. |
| Bottom Line: | Diane 35 was recomended to me by my dermatologist. I was on Yaz with no bad symptoms. I switched to Diane 35 to help get rid of my acne. It wasn't all over but my forehead and chin would get these terribly painful cystic like pimples. So far its been over a month and my skin is slowly clearing up but for me the cons are outweighing the pro's. I have gained about 13 pounds in a month. I have always weighed between 105-108 and right now I'm at 122!!!! It is ridiculous! And decreased sex drive! So sorry ladies but I suggest another option! |

| Pros: | Cleared acne, lighter and more regular periods, less cramps |
| Cons: | Unbelievable weight gain, SWOLLEN and tender breasts, hungery all the time, moody/depressed |
| Bottom Line: | It feels like PMS allllll the time-- my breasts are always swollen and tender as hell! I'm soooo moody that I thought if I didn't know how I was, I would think I was crazy.. I can't stop eating and I gained so much weight that it's unreal.. and it's only been 2 months.. my skin is definintely clearer and less oily however, my hair is so dry as well since this has affected the oil production on my scalp. My acne wasn't terrible, I just had larger pores and when I got a blemish, I got a blemish- those ingrown cystic ones. Another doozy is I think this gave me a painful bloodclot in my leg-- it kills-- still waiting to see the dr to verify this but that seems to be what it is when I speak to others who have taken this poison... finished my last pill for this cycle of 2 months and I'm done because frankly, I can't take the side effects... it helped one thing, my acne but created a whole bunch of ther problems...now that I am done, I just hope I a) deflate and b)don't break out! |

| Pros: | Cleared up my horrible, sometimes cystic acne. Helped normalize my super oily skin. Helped decrease cramps. Helped regularize periods. |
| Cons: | Ongoing dry eyes with contact use; Initial dry vaginal experience and lowered libido; initial weight gain but goes away |
| Bottom Line: | I absolutely love Diane-35. From I was a little girl, i was always looking for a way to clear up my acne and make my periods more comfortable. These were my two life menaces. I couldn't even eat sugary fruits without it causing acne inflammation, and I won't even go into the real sugary stuff like candy. I know the packet now says that you should discontinue use after 3-4 mths after the acne has cleared, but I tried stopping when my mother discovered that it gave her high blood pressure, but the acne came back some months later. Differin gel is great topical treatment, but I need something internal. I'll have acne for a long time since my mom at 54 still has it. I don't know how I'll be able to give it up since it has helped so much, but I really do not want to experience high blood pressure or blood clots because of it. For now though, at 23, I hope the cons mentioned are the only ones I'll experience. |
