Pros:

No acne while I was on the pill, shorter, lighter periods.

Cons:

Horrible acne when I stopped taking it, price it too much to pay per month.

This pill worked wonders while I was on it. I have been suffering with acne since I was 14 but while I was on Diane I barely ever had break-outs. Back in the spring I was told that the price of these pills had gone up when I went to fill a prescription, so I decided to go off the pill, just to give myself a break. The first few months after stopping it were fine. It's now about six months later and I am dealing with acne that is far worse than anything I have ever experienced (lots of cystic acne). I've noticed in previous posts that some girls who use the drug as an acne therapy are concerned about what will happen once they stop using Diane. If it's been working for you and you decide to stop using it, PLEASE talk to your doctor about other acne therapy options. I wish I had of talked to someone before my skin got this bad - I'm considering going back on Diane just so the breakouts will stop, but that seems like a poor solution since I can't stay on it forever...

Pros:

Cleared my skin from acne and lessened oil production a great deal. Also regulated period.

Cons:

None

I was told to try Diane by my Dermatologist for my acne back in 2002 and I'm glad I did! It cleared up my skin so well as well as making my skin a LOT less oily! It also regulated my period which has never been regular until I went onto these pills.

Pros:

Cleared up my skin, makes skin really soft

Cons:

The usual side effects of BCPs: bad mood swings, a little weight gain, extra sensitive to everything

I have been on birth control pills for over two years now. For most of that time, I was on Ortho Tri Cyclen which worked wonders for my skin at first but seemed to lose its effect with time. I'm a third year college student and I had a horrendous breakout right as school started up, so I went to my doctor and was prescribed Diane 35. I must say, within the first month of use, I've noticed a world of difference. My skin's about 70% clearer and improving day by day. People on this site seem to bash this pill for its side effects, but you'd experience these no matter what oral contraceptive you're taking. I highly recommend this for girls combatting acne.

Pros:

my breast grows up!

Cons:

no sex drive, may feeling down

It's my second month taking the pills now. I had serious side effect in the first month such has emotional distability, depression, no sex drive. However, I am felling ok the second month I am taking it. I still do not have sex drive though. As to acne treatment, i do not know yet, becos I am still breaking out but for less. I am using retinol treatment as well at present. I will update later.

Pros:

bumps on my forehead went away, skin less oily, skin smoother

Cons:

Only on it for 1.5 months and I have to say that my face got worse. Bad moods, easily angered, not sure if thats just me though, lol. I'm hoping it will clear up. I will post another note in a few weeks with an update.

I am giving it a chance, I hope it starts to work soon, I've been struggling with acne for too long! However, i am glad there is something out there to help the problem, I always try to remember that.

Pros:

cleared up skin

Cons:

Depressed mood,headaches reguarly,gastro disorder

The fact that Diane 35 'makes skin beautiful' is the reason that i went on it,aswell as the fact that it is a contraceptive too.I would only recommend this pill to clear up acne because it does work.I have been on it for the past 4 months,but i have been wondering why I feel so depressed all the time.I snap at anything and cry every day.Even if a problem is small,i still get anxious and cry.I get headaches about 4 times a week,but they normally go away with panadol.I have become more anxious too.I am easily irritated.After reading these reviews I have decided to go off Diane 35 and go back to levlen.I am hoping that the pill is the cause of these problems so that it can go away.I really want to be myself again.Ladies,if this is happening to you then stop taking it and get your life back again.It definately isn't worth crying everyday!

Pros:

Skin is less oily

Cons:

Weight gain, headaches, itchy skin, mood swings, very irritable :S

I'm not usually sensitive to pills but this did NOT agree with me. I would not recommend it to anyone who is sensitive to antibiotics or any drug. There is nothing Diane 35 has that an antibiotic hasn't provided in the past...
