Diane-35 : Oral Contraceptive

My doctor put me on this for 3 months it did work at first but then I stared getting ance all over my face instead of just my forehead, I started getting really mad and upset all the time, When i did get my period I was in so much pain, It made me loose my appetite and i was always nouseated and foods I would even just smell would make me sick I would not ever reccomend theese pills.

Never worked for me at all!

I do not recommend this pill. I have only been taking this pill for about three weeks and it has made my acne worse than ever before. I feel very mislead by my doctor because she described this pill to me as being a miracle cure for my acne and did mention any side effects. The type of acne that i'm receiving from this pill is different than what i had before. My skin is much more sensitive and becomes red very easily. The pimples that I'm getting are more like sores on my face and are not able to be squeezed. I'm scared to go off of this pill because of the other horrible stories i've heard on this thread. I really do regret taking this pill and do not recommend it to anybody given all of the different side effects it has for each person.

I would not use this pill because its not nice to have depression and no sex drive at all. So I wouldn't trade in acne with aother serious side affects.

Hi, I just went off the diane 35 pill while on my 6th pack, therefore my during my 6th month of it because it did not work for me at all. I feel compelled to write this review as while on it i read on here it may take 3-4 months to start working (I am not saying this isnt true) which is what motivated me to be so patient with it to eventually see if it did start working! On the diane 35 pill i would noticed my skin would clear up and then breakout again, this was a vicious cycle that continued for the entirety of the pill, I believe this was because my body couldnt balance with the strong hormons from the pill. Nearing the end I was giving it final chances, ie if it didnt break out horribly again, which of course it did, I also noticed that my skin was actually extremely worse than when i started the pill. I've quit the pill for almost a month now and my skin's condition has increased increadibly, I am approaching my first period since quitting and have only developed 3-4 pimples. I am not on any medication currently the only changes I have made is using a niaminicide serum every morning and a retinoid every other day & I have reduced my diary intake significantly but I cannot comment on that effectiveness yet Backround about me: 2-3 years ago I was on doxycycline for 6 months + contraception pills and topical creams which didnt help much, so i was classified as having severe cystic acne. I then did a course of roacctuane which kept my skin pimple free for a bit over a year, when I started getting pimples again is when i went on diane (6 months ago). Acne runs in my family, my father and his brothers/sisters have had acne into their 30/40s so I am determined to seek a cure !! :)

I have only been on this pill for about two weeks but I am alreayd having problems with it, I don't want to stop it because I really want to give a fighting chance on clearing up my skin but in the past two weeks I have been having extreme uncontrollable mood swings along with constant crying (which I can say with complete honesty that I only do about three times a year) I would not recommend starting this pill because it literally makes you crazy, the only good thing is that I have already noticed my breasts getting quite a bit larger in just the two weeks, which I would gladly give up to have my regular moods back!

I've been using this pill for about two weeks and the first week i didn't notice a change and the second week my acne became worse and doesn't seem to go away. Not sure what will happen in a month

I was on Diane 35 for about 5 years to treat acne. It worked amazingly in terms of keeping my face clear. HOWEVER, you are not supposed to be on this pill for more than a few cycles, which for some odd reason my doctor didn't seem to know. After doing my own research an realizing I had been taking them for way too long and how dangerous they are, I stopped taking them. As a result, my hormones are completely screwed up. My acne has come back full force, and to top it all off, it caused more than half of my hair to fall out almost immediately after I stopped taking them. BOTTOM LINE: DO NOT TAKE THIS PILL. It will temporarily clear your skin but in the end create a whole new set of problems. I would rather have just been a teen with acne. Now I am a BALDING 23 year old with acne. I hate my doctor. If your doctor is as reckless as mine and tries to give you this stuff, DO NOT TAKE IT. Oh yeah, did I mention that it also induced severe depression for me as well? Yeah, great stuff.

I suffer with acne since the age of 13 When I was 22 I started taking Diane 35 for BC and acne control My skin was just PERFECT - I mean, PERFECT !!!! Now I am 28 and I stopped taking it - in just 5 months I became a monster I felt so bad with all that acne on my face Embaressed about going out I started taking it again Now my skin is getting better - very gradualy

I just got this severe acne when I turned 21 (I'm turning 23 already. Before I had a great skin, but now, I have a terrible one! My derma told me that in my case (severe acne), I have to wait for 3 to 4 months to see the results. So far, I just feel worst! I didn't feel the result. I've tried many medications already but I always end up having big bumps all over my face. I've got to comment again here after I Have taken my 3rd pack of diane as to assess if its really effective to me. MAJOR BOTTOMLINE: Diane's result depends on the person.
