My doctor in Brazil put me on it 5 years ago it cleared my skin. I had tried everything out there nothing ever worked except weekly facials but got to costly when i stopped the acne came back. Diane 35 has been the best thing that has ever happened to my skin I was battling acne since I was 12 I am in my late 20's now and have great skin.

Pros:

helped in acne, 7/10...

Cons:

breast tenderness, irregular periods, back pain, I feel like I've gained weight, mood swings,

I have only used it for about 3 weeks. Seems like its helping me with my acnes, and I am not taking it as a birth control. I have irregular periods and acnes thats why my doctor recommended it. But after reading the side effects I am so scared. Do we have to live of it once we start? This is the second time I am getting my periods this month. RECOMMENDED for people who have acne problems.

Pros:

None so far although it regulated my periods.

Cons:

My face is still the same with all the pimples.

I have used it for 8 mo. and still, hoping that for some miracle, it might work. Unlike other people, I lost some weight on it. I lost 20 lbs. during the entire period. Of course, I worked out. I just hope that it starts to work soon because I break out a lot during the summer.

Pros:

Can skip periods, no more acne.. just still scarring from before I took the pill.

Cons:

Constantly hungry.. 10 minutes after a big meal i'll feel hungry again but stomach will still be full. Weight gain. Feel flat alot.

Have been on dianne 35 since march 2006. My acne got worse before it got better, was alot worse about 2 months later.. but these days i have no complaints about my skin! I have noticed the weight gain, which is a reason i'm considering going off the pill now. I always feel hungry.. and have noticed i'm not quite the same person as i used to be before i started taking the pill..eg feeling flat alot. I used to get a fair few severe migraines but rarely get any at all ( maybe 2 a year).. which could possibly be because of the pill? I'm worried about how my skin will be if i ever stop taking the pill. I've heard reports of skin getting even worse :( btw, does it mean the severity fo my acne now? or before? Beofre taking the pill it was about moderate.. now its very light ie none.

Pros:

I have been using Diane for 3 years. It cleared up acne completely! It's nice having control of menstruation's, less cramps.

Cons:

Some weight gain, but I have had to come off of Diane because a nasty side effect has been depression, anxiety, worrying and very little peace of mind.

I would not recommend using Diane 35 for a long period of time!! It was fantastic for clearing up acne but the side effects have been pretty awful and I definitely would not give it to teenage girls in case the mistake their depression for changing hormones or teenage angst.
