Pros:

works as a contraceptive

Cons:

takes a while to work, depression, fear of blood clots in legs, tender breasts

I've been taking it for two months - my acne is worse than ever. :( I'm going to take it for another 1-2 months to see if it works. But I am very worried about having relapse acne after I stop taking it. I need to seek a more permanent solution. Also, it is dangerous for blood clots. yikes.

Pros:

I have been using Diane for 3 years. It cleared up acne completely! It's nice having control of menstruation's, less cramps.

Cons:

Some weight gain, but I have had to come off of Diane because a nasty side effect has been depression, anxiety, worrying and very little peace of mind.

I would not recommend using Diane 35 for a long period of time!! It was fantastic for clearing up acne but the side effects have been pretty awful and I definitely would not give it to teenage girls in case the mistake their depression for changing hormones or teenage angst.

Pros:

Skin is less oily, breasts have enlarged a bit

Cons:

No improvement in skin yet, tender breasts, horrible mood swings when on the placebo pills, reduced sex drive, lethargy

I've been on it for about a month and a half and so far not much has improved. I'm on a 3 month prescription so I'll wait it out and see; if still nothing has happened I'm going to ask my doc to go on something else like Accutane or minomycin. The breast tenderness is not that bad, more of a slight twinge when I take off my bra or feel them with my hands. My skin is not as oily as it was but my acne is still very much there, and I have been getting more painful pimples than I used to. Not sure what to make of it, maybe I just need to stick it out for a while.
