Pros This product worked wonders on my skin. My usually oily hair and skin became dryer. Regulated and shorter periods. Fewer cramps.
Cons Not sure. At first I didn't think they're were any. But after reading these reviews I seem to have all the negative side effets that everyone else has. I just didn't attribute it to the pill.
Bottom line This pill is amazing for clearing up skin. In the last few years I have developed severe anxiety and depression. I am now on an antidepressant. I have struggled with my weight, my breast have grown, I have lost my sex drive and have in the last week noticed spider viens on my legs, and I'm only 27. I didn't attribute all of these things happening because of Diane 35. It was not the first pill I had been on and I've always been a little anxious. After I had a total break down and went on antidepressants I started looking at my life and trying to find reasons for why this happened to me. This is what led me to start researching Diane 35. I was shocked to find that many people identified depression, anxiety, weight issues, migranes, and even spider viens as side effects. I'm very happy I found this site and I am now very seriously considering taking myself off this pill. I would recomend this pill to try. If you don't get side effects then it would definatley be worth it.

Pros No acne while I was on the pill, shorter, lighter periods.
Cons Horrible acne when I stopped taking it, price it too much to pay per month.
Bottom line This pill worked wonders while I was on it. I have been suffering with acne since I was 14 but while I was on Diane I barely ever had break-outs. Back in the spring I was told that the price of these pills had gone up when I went to fill a prescription, so I decided to go off the pill, just to give myself a break. The first few months after stopping it were fine. It's now about six months later and I am dealing with acne that is far worse than anything I have ever experienced (lots of cystic acne). I've noticed in previous posts that some girls who use the drug as an acne therapy are concerned about what will happen once they stop using Diane. If it's been working for you and you decide to stop using it, PLEASE talk to your doctor about other acne therapy options. I wish I had of talked to someone before my skin got this bad - I'm considering going back on Diane just so the breakouts will stop, but that seems like a poor solution since I can't stay on it forever...

Pros Cleared my skin from acne and lessened oil production a great deal. Also regulated period.
Cons None
Bottom line I was told to try Diane by my Dermatologist for my acne back in 2002 and I'm glad I did! It cleared up my skin so well as well as making my skin a LOT less oily! It also regulated my period which has never been regular until I went onto these pills.

Pros Cleared up my skin, makes skin really soft
Cons The usual side effects of BCPs: bad mood swings, a little weight gain, extra sensitive to everything
Bottom line I have been on birth control pills for over two years now. For most of that time, I was on Ortho Tri Cyclen which worked wonders for my skin at first but seemed to lose its effect with time. I'm a third year college student and I had a horrendous breakout right as school started up, so I went to my doctor and was prescribed Diane 35. I must say, within the first month of use, I've noticed a world of difference. My skin's about 70% clearer and improving day by day. People on this site seem to bash this pill for its side effects, but you'd experience these no matter what oral contraceptive you're taking. I highly recommend this for girls combatting acne.

Pros my breast grows up!
Cons no sex drive, may feeling down
Bottom line It's my second month taking the pills now. I had serious side effect in the first month such has emotional distability, depression, no sex drive. However, I am felling ok the second month I am taking it. I still do not have sex drive though. As to acne treatment, i do not know yet, becos I am still breaking out but for less. I am using retinol treatment as well at present. I will update later.
