Pros:

-cleared acne
-regulated periods

Cons:

-weight gain
-mood swings/depression

I took dianette for almost four years. It was prescribed after tetralysal and minocin had no effect. I took it without question but last year I started to do a bit of research into what I was actually taking. I happened across this website for the first time and it really opened my eyes to the side effects of dianette. While it did clear up my skin, it caused weight gain and severely affected my mood. I first started taking it when I was 16 and as a result I put many of the side effects down to me just growing up.....this wasn't the case. Since coming off dianette I have lost 15 pounds(with no effort:D) and I am a million times more sociable. Even though I now have to deal with my acne I feel far more confident than I ever did on dianette. Having research it there seem to be links with long term use and infertility and once I saw this I decided to stop straight away, it's just not worth the risk. My acne is definitely hormonal but even after taking dianette for so long I was left with no permanent improvement in my skin and it looks like I'll be starting accutane next month. I'm left feeling like I just wasted four years while I could have been dealing with my acne rather than just masking it

Pros:

Just started using this yesterday and have never used it before.

Cons:

I'm fairly distressed about the fact that everyone has pretty much described weight gain. I'm a bit of a fitness freak and I really watch what I eat so if I out in weight I will be bummed out but I guess I have o give it a try. Could be perfect 4 me

Holding my breath and just have to see what happens!! So far dont feel any different but this is only the second day :)
