Pros:

I like to think my acne has gone down...maybe..a little.

Cons:

None for now

I've been on diane for 2 months and a half and still no results...obviously it seems to affect each individual differently but I am sure hoping it's going to work on me in the 6 months time span. From the horror stories I've read re. stopping Diane AND being on Diane I am getting really edgy. When I told my doctor, she didn't think Diane was dangerous at all (clearly she's been chucking presciptions to acne plagued youths over here without a second thought). I have been on atopic creams, antibiotics and they haven't made any noticeable difference, so logically I'm quite frustrated. I shall update if anything has changed in another 2 months...

Pros:

It reduces acne, but not completely. weight lose.

Cons:

Nauseas

The nausea is definitely bearable in comparison to the acne reduction.

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:

Clear skin after a few months of use. Weight stayed the same.

Cons:

When I get my period and am off the pill for about 6-7 days the acne comes back. I also get really terrible morning sickness and I throw up a lot. If you come off of this pill you will get even worse acne then before. Moodiness is also a big issue.

My main problem with this pill is the fact that you need to stay on it forever in order to battle acne. I don't like to take pills so I really had to consider taking this when my doctor recommended it. I decided to go on it and took Diane for about 10 months. After the 2nd month my skin was great! Even about 4 months after coming off of it my skin was ok. Then it became even worse than before I started taking Diane. Now my skin is so out of control that I've started taking it again, but it's not working the same way it did the first time around. My skin is so terrible and I'm waiting for the Diane to kick in. The morning sickness is also really bad, I've had to stay home from work many mornings because of it. It makes me feel really sick. It's scary to think I'll have to take this for my whole life in order to have good skin, because the moment you come off be prepared to have even worse skin than before.

Pros:

reduced my facial hair, cleared up acne, lighter period, little to no cramping

Cons:

slight weight gain (which is my fault anyway), increased breast size

I have PCOS, complete with hirsutism and mild acne. Diane-35 reduced my facial hair, eradicated it on my chest, and cleared up my acne entirely. I have had no depression issues that I had not had before. In fact, I feel far better, because I look better.

Pros:

This product worked wonders on my skin. My usually oily hair and skin became dryer. Regulated and shorter periods. Fewer cramps.

Cons:

Not sure. At first I didn't think they're were any. But after reading these reviews I seem to have all the negative side effets that everyone else has. I just didn't attribute it to the pill.

This pill is amazing for clearing up skin. In the last few years I have developed severe anxiety and depression. I am now on an antidepressant. I have struggled with my weight, my breast have grown, I have lost my sex drive and have in the last week noticed spider viens on my legs, and I'm only 27. I didn't attribute all of these things happening because of Diane 35. It was not the first pill I had been on and I've always been a little anxious. After I had a total break down and went on antidepressants I started looking at my life and trying to find reasons for why this happened to me. This is what led me to start researching Diane 35. I was shocked to find that many people identified depression, anxiety, weight issues, migranes, and even spider viens as side effects. I'm very happy I found this site and I am now very seriously considering taking myself off this pill. I would recomend this pill to try. If you don't get side effects then it would definatley be worth it.

Pros:

Clears up acne

Cons:

Mood Swings, depression, weight gain, head aches, anxiety, Zero sex drive....etc.etc....

I have read some of the comments here, and let me tell you I FINALLY feel like I had an answer as to why I was so "moody", had no sex drive andwas sad all the time...Problems concentrating, relationship problems (big time), hating myself, no desire to do a whole lot...I was a mess for the past 8 years that I was on Diane-35! After anti-depressants and a whole lot of trouble with NO solution,I finally gave up and started to research the last possible thing that could be the reason for my "issues", this pill. I went off of it, and like magic, I have been great! I can not say this will happen to ALL who take it but PLEASE think long and hard if you do consider it, there are other options for acne control out there (and in my case with Diane, Birth Control too).I ca't begin to say how relieved I am to finally have an answer though, thanks to all the girls who commented on this site!
