Pros:

It helped clear up most of my acne for almost a year.

Cons:

Bad mood swings, weight gain, food cravings, no sex drive, once you stop it it comes back even worse than before! I had to stop this bc because after about 1 1/2 years on it I began to only have spotting and only lasted half a day.

It worked for a short time and then just stopped working. But like every bc it's different for everyone. My dr. put me on Yaz now so I hope that works!

Pros:

Very Clear skin!!

Cons:

You will rely on it, you cant get off it, otherwise you will break out again.

I have been on it for over 5.5 years. Stopped it after 2 years, but the acne came back and was 10 fold worse. So, it forced me to go back on it. From what i read, it is likely you will have massive acne break outs once you stop. Worse than what you had originally. Lets just hope im wrong....

Pros:

It is the only thing that works to clear the skin on my face and back.

Cons:

difficulty getting pregnant once off Diane (has anyone else experienced this?). Biggest con is that the acne comes back with a vengeance shortly after stopping Diane.

Will continue to use but have had trouble conceiving which I think is related to Diane but not sure. Also

Pros:

I think it works, I was on it for about 8 years.

Cons:

When you come off your skin is an oily pimply mess.

On a different note.. I have a very strong suspicion that it caused me to have very very itchy skin that nothing could fix, seriously, it was hellish, I would wake up scratching my arms and legs until they were red raw. After I came off it the itches went away in a week or two. It may have been a build up of the product in my system. But I have had a 2 month break from the pill, I am going to try it again and see how it goes because my acne is back again. I have also been on roaccutane which worked for me for about a 24 month period.. then I was back to where I started... the pill works better.

Pros:

Clearer skin, less oily skin

Cons:

Hardly any sex drive, sore breasts and bigger breasts (I already have big breasts), slight mood swings, craving food

I've had bad skin since i was a teenager (now i'm 23) and i've tried most things but this seems to be working so far. I've only been on it for almost 3 months but it's cleared my skin up a lot and my skin is way less oily than normal. But a problem with the pill is that as soon as i have my period my skin breaks out really bad so i pretty much skip my period every month now. I'm worried about how my skin is going to be if i go off it. I've been craving different food to normal but i haven't put on weight cos i try to ignore the cravings and still eat healthy and exercise every day. And having next to no sex drive is not cool either!!

Pros:

Cleared skin, regulated menstruation, reduced cramps during menstruation, up a cup size

Cons:

Weight gain (about 8 kg!!!), moodiness, nausea, cellulite, stretch marks, depression, leg pains

After a couple of months my skin was great, everyone has said my skin has improved heaps, but I'm finding some of the other effects hard to deal with. I've been on this for almost a year and am about to stop - and hoping my body will go back to normal!

Pros:

Breakouts all disappeared except for the odd one.

Cons:

spots left behind, Noticed stretch marks on my hips and legs. Never had them before.

I've tried everything. From creams, micro, laser,none of it really did the trick. But after 3months of taking the pill, you no longer have to worry about acne!

Pros:

Cleared my skin, but it took about 4 months

Cons:

occasional minor breakouts, nausea, anxiety, restlessness, headaches

I have used Diane35 in the past and it worked well. I recently went back on it, but it took about 4 months for me to see any results. Several months after seeing the initial results in my skin I started to feel light headed and nausea. I also have trouble sleeping and feel anxious. Most recently I discovered this strange bruise on my leg and I didn't bump into anything, so I can only deduct it's a side affect. I am now 41 and it's probably time to go off of it for good.

Pros:

Great skin- cleared "backne", much more self confidence, radiating skin, smooth hair, more curves (I was a bit flat before), overall, helped a LOT.

Cons:

Occasional migraines, not sure whether related to medication or not, as I had migranes before going on it too, cramps during first day of period.

Really happy I was put on it, gives great complexion, and as long as you don't experience side effects, it's great.
