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:

The only thing that has worked for my acne LONG TERM!
Completely clear face for 5 years
Made my oily face "normal" and my pores tiny.

Cons:

Took about 6 months to start working
Initial weight gain

I've had acne since I was a teenager and I'm now 29. Diane 35 took a long time to work but for me it was totally worth it. I gained a few pounds when I first started taking it but lost them throughout the first year. I didn't really have any other side effects and when my skin got clear after about 6 months it STAYED CLEAR!! After about 5 years i stopped taking it because I moved to the U.S where it's not available. I had completely forgot that I even had acne/oily skin but since I stopped my face is a mess and I'm getting acne scars for the first time! I can't seem to find anything to replace Diane 35. I'm so sad!!!

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:

Skin is less oily, breasts have enlarged a bit

Cons:

No improvement in skin yet, tender breasts, horrible mood swings when on the placebo pills, reduced sex drive, lethargy

I've been on it for about a month and a half and so far not much has improved. I'm on a 3 month prescription so I'll wait it out and see; if still nothing has happened I'm going to ask my doc to go on something else like Accutane or minomycin. The breast tenderness is not that bad, more of a slight twinge when I take off my bra or feel them with my hands. My skin is not as oily as it was but my acne is still very much there, and I have been getting more painful pimples than I used to. Not sure what to make of it, maybe I just need to stick it out for a while.

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.

Pros:

Perfect complexion, less greasy skin, and lighter hair strands. i love the effect it gives to my skin. I look younger and brighter. It makes me feel more confident all the time.

Cons:

So far so good.

I recommend this to all women who have hormonal imbalances, acne problems, and of course who are insecure with how they look.
