Diane-35 : Oral Contraceptive

I went on this for over 6 months, my dermatologist took me off of it because obviously it wasn't working. I guess this works for some people so it doesn't hurt to try it. Just don't get upset if it doesn't work.

1) while I was taking them (for 9 months), I had strong headaches almost every day, and also strange sensation in my right arm(?!) 2) dryness of the eyes, and this is terrible, because I'm wearing contact lenses for 15 years and I didn't have problems, and now my eyes are so dry that I can't stand the lenses anymore. I can't wear glassess cos they don't help, I see poorly with them - I must go on laser operation and pay it app. 2500eur 3) gain weight (and I'm still gaining fat...) about 13 kilos in few months, and I can't lose it, I tried everything... :( 4) my acnes didn't stop, my face is as bad as ever...

I have yet to find the "perfect" birth control for me. I dont like the fact that this BCP makes me so tired (like, really tired) and moody. I am going to finish my packs, because I paid for them, and because I noticed clearer skin and I am going on vacation + a wedding and dont want to risk having my acne reappear. I pretty much want a birth control thats excellent for skin with minor side effects... I was thinking of trying Yasmin. Any suggesions?

Its good!!!!

My cystic breakout make me looked like I've been splashed with acid (red,flaky,etc). My derm pres. Diane 35 and sampling of Differin. I didn't encounter any depressions, headache or morning sickness, which is good. But,it makes me more susceptible to joint injury (like spraining my wrist while I'm driving...freaky!) but then, maybe it's just me. Anyway, I hope to stop taking Diane 35 in another 3 months, and hopefully Differin could help combat my acne to the roots as informed by my derm. I really hope this works for me. I used to take Accutane, but it makes my body sick and I can't be exposed to the sun (which where I'm living it's not really practical-Malaysia). Hopes to also see the scar fades away (I'm using Bodyshop Vit C Skin Booster + Vit E combo, hopefully it works)

worth it if your skin is that bad

I went to my Gyno to recommed a birth control for me as Im getting married soon, she noticed that I have some acne(had this since 12 and I 26 now) and prescribed Diana 35, I have been taking it for just about two weeks now and notice that I get headaches every night about 2 hours after taking the pill, have'nt seen any improvement in my acne yet but I'm definately going to continue using it, as I will love to have clear skin, and bigger breasts I realy want bigger breasts, this will make me feel more confident and sexy, which will lead to a better sex life for me and my husband to be. No mood swings, belive this is all in your mind.

I used it several years back and just used it again recently so I cant tell yet if I'll gain some weight since Im currently dieting.It's very good for the skin and if you are sexually active and will also make you feel more "feminine" because of the increase in female hormones (bigger boobs and hips). The only thing I dont like the most is the feeling of being pregnant- dizzy, vomiting, and stomach acidity - just like the morning sickness. I dont like depression as well because I just cry anytime for no reason even when im at work. I became more sensitive to contact lenses since I took this pill, like the initial feeling when I first fit my contact lenses

Hoping will really take effect after 6 months of use (My Dermatologist told me). I'm crossing fingers 'cause I've been treating my pimples for five years but to no avail, but yeah, I started taking Diane-35 last December, and pimples cleared out 90 percent at the start of the fourth month of use. I hope pimples won't come back after 6 months of use!! Else, Diane-35 not really good, eih

I gained almost 20 pounds in a month! I am a naturally very slender girl, and before i started taking this i was about 105 pounds. After one month of Diane 35, I gained 18 pounds, went from a small A to a mid-B cup size, and was scared sh*tless. My mom blamed it on puberty, but i switched to Alesse and i lost about 10 pounds. My boobs decreased slightly as well (sigh). I saw no change in my skin whatsoever, but it was beneficial for my body i guess. I now have an actual figure instead of a stick-like shape.
