Pros:

Birth control, increased sex drive (ironically, as so many people have found this has decreased)

Cons:

Skin appears to have gotten worse, depression

The doctor told me this would take about 3 months before it began clearing my acne up, I have just passed the 2 month mark so fingers crossed! My skin has actually gotten A LOT worse, I am hoping more than anything this improves soon. Another bad thing is the depression I've been experiencing. I am so determined to wait this out though, I have had friends who have had good experiences with this contraceptive. The increased sex drive has been a plus, but the bad skin is contraindicates this.

Pros:

Clears up skin (about 1 pimple every 2 or 3 months since being in the pill), regular periods, major decrease in cramps, no oily hair or skin, no babies :P, no extreme mood swings, no weight gain :)

Cons:

decreased sex drive, occassional break through bleeding between periods, headache a day or two before my period (Not sure if this is related to the pills).. Nothing too major, not a whole lot of complaints..

I am a 21 yr old white female who had been taking Diane-35 for 4 years. Prior to going on this pill, I had MAJOR cystic acne, especially on my chest and back. About 6 months after taking the pill, my acne completely disappeared and has never returned. However, after 4 years of being on the drug, I began to experience break-through bleeding between periods. I have recently gotten off of the medication (about 3 months ago) in attempts to see if my acne returns. Sure enough, IT DID!! Besides the recent break-through bleeding, this drug has worked wonders for me and I am planning on getting back on this drug as my main method of contraception!! Diane-35 is definitely worth a try in my opinion!

Pros:

regular periods, breast's enlarged?

Cons:

Made me sick the first few days

The only reason i'm on diane is to regulate my periods, as i am on aldactone and that causes break through bleeding. My breasts are a bit sore, but as i think they have grown because of diane, im not complaining.

Pros:

Balanced out my moods as I'm a bit obsessive-compulsive / emotional probems. Skin is very clear and healthy looking.

Cons:

Harder to keep muscle tone with same amount of excersice as before Diane.

I originally went on Diane as a teenager to treat both my acne and bad mood swings. I have been off it a couple of times and when I go off it I suffer from depression, my skin turns really oily and the pimples return within a couple of weeks. I think this is a great treatment for people who are a little emotionally unbalanced as it's helped me alot wothout changing my personality too much. Plus, no acne!

Pros:

Completely cured my acne, regulated my periods and minimized pre-munstrual discomfort.

Cons:

Decreased sex drive.

This product worked a miracle for me for approx. 14 years. But be ware of stopping the medication. I stopped it in December, and in about January, my acne returned with a vengeance, and I feel greasy all the time. I hope this is just temporary, because I can't handle this acne... I have also only had 1 period since stopping hte pill.

Pros:

Cleared skin, less hair growth

Cons:

Extreme mood swings, depression, weight gain, cellulite, and much more/

I have been taking this pill since 2000 for about 8 years now. It worked well in the beginning, and for the forst 5 years. After about 2005, my dr advised me I should take a break from the pills so that my body does not forget how to produce the hormones that I am taking synthetically. I took a 3 month break, my skin broke out, and hair became oily every day. I had horrible mood swings, crying, upset, headaches, and went to depression and anxiety. My mood swings were so bad it started to affect my marriage. I have now been off the pills for 2 months, and my skin is starting to break out again BUT I feel much much better. I feel happy again, I do not feel sad and upset over every little thing, and I feel much happier, and better overall. I would recommend something else for acne as I spent the last 3 years, extremely unhappy, and sad, and upset, and angry. I did not realise until my mom told me I was not myself anymore, and I didnt think anything was different until NOW and feel
