Pros:

improvement of acne, reduced and regular menses and lack of pregnancy

Cons:

weight gain and increased appetite made it difficult to really watch what i ate, low sex drive, dry vagina, terrible mood swings,PMS and cramps, very dry skin that led to flaking and burning sensation around my lips - my lips eventually became black

it improved my skin considerably, but the dry parts ( i have a combination skin) were badly affected. being newly married, the reduced sex drive is a no-no. and the increased weight - i have been struggling to lose weight for a while and just when i managed to do this, the drug takes away some of my effort - guess shall give another pill a try

Pros:

With continued use, cleared acne very well.

Cons:

Migraines (increasing over time), irritability, moodiness, weight gain (fuller cup size (not desired nor required), lowered libido

I Used Diane-35 for over a year continuously. My skin cleared beautifully. However I stopped because of migraines occuring with increasing severity over time. But the acne came back. I have now re-started and am monitoring my diet,etc..since clear skin is a big plus for me despite the negatives. I'm still weighing everything though. I'm just a few days into starting and I've noticed signicant bloating and weight gain. The migraines which had stopped with discontinued use came back very mildly (but like I said it increases over time. I suspect I may have to discontinue permanently this time as I'd rather be managing acne but alive, than an acne free corpse (the migraines, irritability, etc are quite horrid). Since I've spent considerable time on and off this pill I don't think it's the best choice for me - clear skin notwithstanding.

Pros:

clears up acne a bit

Cons:

worse cramps than before, and causes blood clots

After using Diane 35 for almost 6 months, I saw a little difference in my acne, but not enough for me to keep using it. For me, the cons outweighed the pros of me staying on it to see what would happen in the long run. I was reading that 100% of subjects that took Diane had their acne gone after 18 months, but I didn't want to wait that long, nor deal with the consequences of birth control as a method of acne treatment. Diane 35 is really dangerous apparently (causes blood clots and such), and being off of it for about 2 weeks now I'm feeling bloated and getting stomach aches almost every day, but it should go away.

Pros:

Clears up a bit, not bad

Cons:

BREAST ENLARGEMENT. Oh my god, I had perfect B's and now have busting out C's. If you want a bigger chest, mood swings, weight gain, this is the pill for you.

It does indeed help, but just has severe side effects.

Pros:

Improved acne, not pregnant, can skip periods

Cons:

Slight weight gain, possible other side effects (not sure if they are due to pill or not), didn't clear all acne

This pill worked pretty well for me though not all my acne is gone it's definitely a lot better. and it's good how it can be used as a birth control too. I didn't get any side effects at first but some appear to be arriving now after a few months, however they may not be due to the pill.
