Pros:

Reduced number of migraines, skin is perfect, no oil in skin or hair

Cons:

I've heard that there is a greater chance of blood clots while taking this particular drug

I took this drug for about 4 years and it worked perfectly for me. I've suffered from migraines for the past 18 years and they got better once I started Diane-35. My skin is perfect and my hair takes forever to get oily - love it! I switched to another BC pill (Seasonale) about 6 weeks ago as I was scared of the increased risk of blood clots, and it's been a complete nightmare. Extreme mood swings, depression, MANY migraines, gas/intestinal pain, etc. I need to go back on Diane-35, despite the risks. I simply can't live the way I have been lately - 5 migraines a week that completely wipe me out ... not acceptable! Diane-35 isn't for everyone, but it is perfect for some.

Pros:

regular cycle, clear skin,

Cons:

bloating, NO SEX DRIVE!!! relaps in skin problems after stopping this pill, also takes ages to go back to normal after this pill, pretty expensive too

i don't think ill go back on this, i have my sex drive back now and feel so much better and happier off this, i've been off for 8 months and have only had 4 periods, which is a problem with trying for a bub. ive now started using pro-activ so the skin issue is resolved and i feel great, sex life going well too. i recommend trying other options prior to this

My skin has also become worse since trying it. Also about to start my third pack.

Waste of money if you do not have a plan.
March 4, 2009

Pros:

it sort of brought down the size of zits.
no side effects

Cons:

Been on it almost 3 months, and not seeing drastic changes. seems to be slowly improving, but im not convinced that it has done much

Improvments seem gradual, or maybe it just wont work for me. hopefully just need to give it more time. Have heard numerous times this product has helped though so staying positive..

Pros:

I have had little brakeouts and it has cleared up a lot as it is my 4th month taking it. I still have some spots on my face to clear up but i am happy with the results so far. Hopefully it will all clear up soon

Cons:

I have had more food cravings and and i have mood swings. Also at times i do get emotional.

After having bad acne for 2 years now and have been on 3 antibiotics and used tons of topical creams, the pill works and has done wonders for me. It is all worth it. I am on Diane and wash my face in the morning with clyndimcin gel and at night apply benzol peroxide. Worth it. Excited for the end results hopefully it will all be gone soon and the pill will keep working it's wonders.

Pros:

None as of yet

Cons:

Sore breasts, extreme hunger, decreased sex drive

Will give it another month. If i do not see any improvements with my skin by then will find an alternative, as i feel bloated and hungry all the time now which is adding to my low self esteem.
