Christina, Toronto, Canada Apr 18th, 2007 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: Clear skin, thinner body hair, effective birth control, fuller breasts (?) Cons: Fatigue, dampened libido, severe depression, poor blood circulation (heavy legs, swollen feet), head hair thinning/loss, expensive. Bottom Line: Listen up, ladies. I started taking Diane-35 when I was 19 years old, and I've been on it for 6 years. I noticed a real improvement in my skin only when I was 21, and to this day I can't say if it was Diane or just lifestyle/maturity changes. I have always been skinny, so I didn't quite gain weight, but I lost muscle density--I stayed slim but got soft/fatty and I now have a bit of cellulite that I don't think I'd have gotten if I hadn't gone on this pill. VERY LOW SEX DRIVE--which is tough because I had a really high one before I started. Having read more about the risks of Diane (I think blood clots might be a concern for me because of my "heavy legs"), I'd really like to get off. My concern, of course, is that I get pimples again when I've been mostly clear for 4 years. On the other hand, I had several episodes of severe depression that I believe impaired my quality of life.I've noticed over 6 years that bad side effects improve with increased health/activity...but then so does acne Recommended: No Price Paid: 30.00 Was this comment helpful?

Bibiphile, Switzerland Apr 5th, 2007 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: Acne cleared quick, bigger breasts, loss of weight, regular periods. Cons: zero libido, headaches (they just stopped one year later), tiredness..........BUT when I stopped it, got horrible depression, gain weight really fast beause of uncontrolable food cravings. Bottom Line: The problem came actually when I stopped the pill !! I think my body got addict to the hormone. I was diagnosed with PCOS, and at first was hard to get used to Diane, but it was good on three months. I took it for one year and decided to stop it because my acne came back! but during two months I felt strange...depressed, fat, hungry all the time, tired,....so I took it back...but I have the feeling is not good for me. Recommend it ? Yes but only if you know your body well to know its reactions, if you doing sport and eat consciously. Recommended: Yes Price Paid: 18.00 Was this comment helpful?

anonymous, Mississauga, Canada Apr 1st, 2007 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: my skin cleared up, i have less pain during my periods, free with insurance plan Cons: i have used it for about 4 months now, and i have gained about 6 pounds.. :( i'm chubbier then i ever ever was in my whole 19 years of life.. i get REALLY intense food cravings, like "i need to eat that.. at 11pm" .. never had that before :( Bottom Line: um.. well, i really really was upset about having such ridiculous acne.. and so i took this pill.. but now that i've read everybody's testimonials i'm feeling so unsure of this.. and i think i will get off of it as soon as possible.. i'm particularly scared of what i might face after getting off... i really don't like the feeling of being heavy .. i want to be slim again.. i think that perhaps if u really need to get rid of that acne this might be a good way to go but definitely get off of it asap..

Cons: Dizzy ness,dryness in eyes,increase in breast size Bottom Line: I am on diane for almost 2 years.and have seen that i really get frequent mood swings which is really really bad sometimes.i will suggest someone to take this if skin is really bad with lots of hair and acnes for that it works ,better to go for lighter medicines then this.

cherie, australia Mar 15th, 2007 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Bottom Line: i was on Diane for 7 months. As soon as i started taking it i instantly noticed a diference in my skin. No more pimples. ive had bad acne ever since i was 14 and now im 21 and nothing else has worked. If only this was the case. Nearly every day of taking the pill i was nauseas and just felt ill all over. I didnt think it was the pill but as soon as i got of it, the sickness stopped. Straight away ive had very irreguler periods. Its all messed up and all over the place. Oh and the pimples are back!! I recommend not to use this pill as it will onnly make u worse in the long run. Usage: cherie has used this item for about a year. Price Paid: 23.00 Was this comment helpful? (Yes) (No) (Report as inappropriate)

A user, Phil Mar 14th, 2007 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: bigger boobs Cons: pimples, depression, lowered sex drive, blood clot (according to what I've researched) Bottom Line: I am using Diane 35 about a week now. I used Melaine before I switched to Diane 35 because I got pimples using Melaine. According to my OB Diane 35 would lessen the pimples that I have (which actually caused by taking Melaine) so she adviced me to take the said pill. Unfortunately, I am still getting pimples in this pill. It did clear my skin :( Should I stop taking it or should I still continue it until 3 months (hoping it will work)?

Anonymous, Toronto Mar 9th, 2007 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: free with canadian health plan Cons: Sensitive to light, Food cravings, Violent mood swings Bottom Line: I'm going to stick with it for a while longer. I had no idea I could get so depressed. I feel irrational and moody like I do with severe pms but for the whole month I've been on Diane. I'm hoping that my hormone levels will figure themselves out soon and I'll get a control on them. It looks like this isn't worth it to stay on the drug if I always feel like this and I might take accutane... instead of always having to be on this drug. I also notice driving at night I think everyone has their high beams on and my eyes are super sensitive to the light. If getting rid of acne is important to you I'd take it.

Heather, UK Mar 8th, 2007 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: Regular periods, no wait gain, rarely any pimples. Cons: Low energy, still get cramping, a bit of decrease in sex drive. Bottom Line: I went on this after I found out Proactiv caused early aging, and had dehydrated my skin out to its ultimate potential. So far, I have been on it for 8 weeks and I love it. Diane 35, yes, it can cause blood clots. ** BUT SO CAN ANY OTHER BIRTH CONTROL PILL ** and if you are overweight or smoke it's going to make you more prone to getting a clot more than you were before. Obese people are already at high risk in the first place for getting a blood clot, even without the pill. So maybe, if you people lost some weight, you shouldn't have to be worried about it so much and blame your blood clots on the pill. PUT DOWN THE PIE!! Moving on: One thing I didn't like about this pill is the lack of energy that I have and it doesn't really help my cramping, which I thought it would. But it keeps my acne away 98% of the time, and that's the most important thing. No weight gain is a bigger bonus, probably because I actually watch what I eat :) Recommended: Yes Usage: Heather has used this item for a few months. Price Paid: 5.00 Was this comment helpful?

Michelle, Paris, France Mar 4th, 2007 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: more regular periods, less oily skin Cons: severe clinical depression, cellulite all over the body, weight gain (15 kg, I guess it is 40 pounds), metabolism got MUCH slower, headaches and so on Bottom Line: because of this horrible drug I got a lot of weight. still I can't lose it, though eat almost nothing. it is because my metabolism has got much slower, and never will be the same. I used to be a pretty very skinny girl, now everybody calls me fat. what's more. I got cellulite all over my body, even on my calves, arms and fingers, though it is visible only pressed or in a specific lightning.I used to think i will never have this ugly thing. my mother is 49, she doesn't have cellulite. I'm 17, and have it. why? because of Diane 35. moreover, I've got deppresion. very severe. psychiatrists even enwanted to put me into a psychiatric hospital.I still have suicidal thoughts, even though finished using Diane 35 one year ago.my body changes are making me frustrated.i think that taking DIANE 35 IS THE BIGGEST MISTAKE OF MY LIFE.it helped for my skin only a little bit, while i was using it. now i'm not, and it has got even worse. I still have suicidal thoughts. YouWhoAdvisedMeToTakeItAreKILLERS! Recommended: No Price Paid: 25.00 Was this comment helpful? (Yes) (No) (Report as inappropriate)
