Dianette : Oral Contraceptive

I am now 29 and have been taking Diannette on and off for about 6 years. I came off it on April and the spots came back. So re-started it again yesterday. I hate having spots and it really does make you feel miserable.

when i fist started on dianete i wasnt sure about it i had read so many bad reveiws on it and was scared some of these things would happen to me. I was put on it by my doctor at 16 after having tried about every cream thy could think of and nothing was working. My face my back and my chest was covered in them!! Dianette has helped so much i still have a few spots and a lot of scarring but its no were near as bad as it used to be. It took about 4-5 months to start working so you just have to keep at it. Now the thing is im scared to come of it as i really do not want my skin to go back to how bad it used to be trust me it was awful!! I have been on it now for 9 months and dont know what i would have done without it it gave me alot of confidence back and i ddnt have to worry how bad my face looked like all the time. I really would recomend this pill if your acne is really severe although it will take some time to start working it really is worth the wait. :D

I have heard it works wonders for some people. i have had severe acne and had to go on roaccutane treatment, which meant i had to legally be on some form of contraception anyway, so they recommended dianette as a form of acne treatment too. it didn't work, if anything it made things worse. every month i came off of it for a week i would have huge flare ups. i stopped taking it and my skin no longer had these flare ups. my roaccutane treatment cleared my skin up, but recently i have had a few spots. i am considering trying dianette again, to see if it might help.

All symptoms stop once you come off the pill so give it a go and see. It can work very well for some.

Coming off it today as it has made me depressed and put on weight despite giving me great skin. Also messed with my emotions too much, all my friends and family noticed how much I changed. Worried about skin getting worse than before but I would prefer that to how I am feeling now.

ive been on dianette for around a year and a half now and my skins been great! i sufferd with spots around my mouth, which the doctor said is due to hormones, the spots appeared less red within the first few days! dianette was definatly a conferdance booster for me! when you do come of it make sure you keep on top of your skin and you'll be fine. since coming off it recently, ive noticed ive lost alot of wieght, and i seem much happier in myself. remember not to stress when you get the odd spot because ive found it only makes them worse!

although it takes a while to work and can't be used long term it is worth using to get acne under control abit.

I loved Dianette. I tried many different antibiotics and creams and nothing worked. Then I took dianette and within around 4 months my skin was back to how I remembered it pre acne (which developed in my 20's). My doctors took me off of it as they say it has higher risks of blood clots but my spots came back and I have put on weight and feel very low. I am trying to find an alternative but think I'll just plead with my doctor to be put back on it.

Really effective acne treatment, works on the basis of prevention of further breakouts by reducing the factor that causes the acne. Tried lots of other creams etc but this is the only thing that worked.

iv been using dianette since i was 16, i had very bad acne. my skin eventually cleared up but as i felt i was very emotional from using it i decided to come off dianette when i was 19, only to find my acne got even worse. i went back on dianette, i am now 24, my skin is clear but i do get occasional spots on my rest days. i now feel constatnly sick and i believe its dianette that is making me feel like this however my doctor disagrees. i am scared to come off dianette as my skin may get very bad again.
