Pros:

Clearer skin, decreased facial hair.

Cons:

moodswings, weight gain, headaches.

I've been on Dianette for nearly 12 months now. 12 months being the recommended time that was proposed by my GP to take the pills. It took a good few months for any noticable results. But my skin has definately become a lot clearer. Unfortunately i have gained at least a stone. I've suffered plenty from moodswings.crying for no reason. Feeling fat has become a problem too. I said originally "i don't care if i put on weight, i'd do anything to rid of these spots" but now my opinion is starting to change. I've been suffering from headaches nearly everday for a week now, very unlike me. i'm slighty worried that it is the pill. Although i would like clear skin my recommended time dosage has come to an end. I want to get back to my orignal weight and stop feeling so upset for no reason.

its free in the uk
it has reduced my acne slightly

Cons:

after 3 days of use , i have had pains in my stomach , and my joints are starting to hurt , and i eat quiet alort during the day.

i have just been giving dianette about 3 days ago , and since then i have had really bad pains in my stomach and i have been having join pain on my uper leg , and have been eating quite alot , i never used to snack ect before i got dianette but since my doctor suggested to me i have been eating more than ever , i have gained a slight bit of weight but im not to fused about that ,my face has cleared up slightly and look and fells much better than before , i would recommend this to people who have medium acne as it is working for me ,but i also use different products on my face the best way to clear acne is to wash face in the morning and take the dianette pill then at night , wash face again and apply sudocream on acne area and leave over night , and do this everyday , and after a few days you can see and fell change on your face
