Pros:With continued use, cleared acne very well.
Cons:Migraines (increasing over time), irritability, moodiness, weight gain (fuller cup size (not desired nor required), lowered libido
Bottom Line:I Used Diane-35 for over a year continuously. My skin cleared beautifully. However I stopped because of migraines occuring with increasing severity over time. But the acne came back. I have now re-started and am monitoring my diet,etc..since clear skin is a big plus for me despite the negatives. I'm still weighing everything though. I'm just a few days into starting and I've noticed signicant bloating and weight gain. The migraines which had stopped with discontinued use came back very mildly (but like I said it increases over time. I suspect I may have to discontinue permanently this time as I'd rather be managing acne but alive, than an acne free corpse (the migraines, irritability, etc are quite horrid). Since I've spent considerable time on and off this pill I don't think it's the best choice for me - clear skin notwithstanding.

Pros:Cleared skin well. A few hormonal pimples here and there.
Cons:I decided to go off this pill to see whether my skin would get worse or not as I had been on Diane since my teenage years. I was shocked that I no longer had mood swings (I previously had no idea why I was cranky all the time)and my libido improved
Bottom Line:Even though some of my pimples have come back, the fact that I am much happier, less anxious and less moody means so much more
