Pros:

more regular periods, less oily skin

Cons:

severe clinical depression, cellulite all over the body, weight gain (15 kg, I guess it is 40 pounds), metabolism got MUCH slower, headaches and so on

because of this horrible drug I got a lot of weight. still I can't lose it, though eat almost nothing. it is because my metabolism has got much slower, and never will be the same. I used to be a pretty very skinny girl, now everybody calls me fat. what's more. I got cellulite all over my body, even on my calves, arms and fingers, though it is visible only pressed or in a specific lightning.I used to think i will never have this ugly thing. my mother is 49, she doesn't have cellulite. I'm 17, and have it. why? because of Diane 35. moreover, I've got deppresion. very severe. psychiatrists even enwanted to put me into a psychiatric hospital.I still have suicidal thoughts, even though finished using Diane 35 one year ago.my body changes are making me frustrated.i think that taking DIANE 35 IS THE BIGGEST MISTAKE OF MY LIFE.it helped for my skin only a little bit, while i was using it. now i'm not, and it has got even worse. I still have suicidal thoughts. YouWhoAdvisedMeToTakeItAreKILLERS!

Pros:

did help reduce my acne, although didn't clear it up completely

Cons:

lowered sex drive quite a bit, some vaginal dryness, eyes seemed drier; had to switch contacts, hair seemed drier as well; was switched off because my doctor had concerns about blood clot controversies

would probably take it again if nothing else seemed to help, although i'm concerned about the possibility of dangerous blood clots, so would definitely talk to my doctor about that... ...have been switched to Ortho Tri-Cyclen which seems to be fine for my face and small acne, but not helpful for nodular acne on the back...now, trying to combine with minocyline to eliminate the nodular acne. really didn't like the reduction in sex drive, although bad acne making me self-conscious does that pretty effectively too, so i'd still go back on it.

Pros:

cleared my skin; less facial hair, increased bra size, a general more feminine look

Cons:

depression, pain in the calves, gain weight

I've started with it 3 1/2 years ago cause i had body hair in atypical regions for a woman (not very thick or ostensibly visible, but still bothering - especially in my teenage years); I also had a mild form of acne. In a few months I felt and looked much more feminine - the pimples were more or less gone, the skin seemed much less harsher, brighter, and smoother, my breasts increased, I put some weight, small improvements concerning the body hair, etc. While I was on it, I've confronted a lot with depression (I had some bouts of depression also before taking it), inability to concentrate(I used to be a very quick and focused thinker, great at problem-solving), tiredness, gain weight, limb swelling and pain - obviously related with the drug; recently I stopped taking it; immediately I developed an ovarian cyst and I put 5-6 kg in one month around the waist; after two months a I also got terrible acnea; I'm much better now, but I have to take it again because of the cyst :(

Pros:

Regulates periods, less greasy skin, should bring my skin back to being smooth, weight loss

Cons:

It is so so sooo bad when you come off it.

I was on this pill for 8 years, my skin was clear again and I thought maybe it was because I was 25 and over the pimple stage? I came off the pill, I was fine for 2 weeks and then my face became an oil slick, my face broke out like nothing I have ever seen before and I gained weight. I am back on Diane after 3 months of being off it.. have been back on it for a month now and I am still dealing with revolting skin, it isn't oily any more but it covered in zits.. especially around my chin and I have never gotten them here before... but praying that it will clear up again soon.

Pros:

It totally clears up my acne, bigger breasts, healthy, smooth, flawless skin

Cons:

crazy mood swings, nausea at times, facial hair growth

It really clears up my acne but when had stopped using it my acne returned worse than it was before, greasy horrible breakouts. Regardless of the nausea and facial hair that can be dealt with this product really works for me. Just worried about the long term affects

Pros:

for now far from perfect but much much better than what it was before, regulated period, no cramps, less facial hair, only thing that really works ( tried pretty much everything exept accutane)

Cons:

none really, still have oily skin ( less than before though), break outs sometimes

I have had acne for at least 8 years now ( im 22). I have very oily skin lots of blackheads big pores and of course acne. I was always scared to use diane-35 (espacially after reading all the reviews in here) but about 6 months ago i finally decided to take it after somme really bad break-outs. I really did not have ay bad side effets ( maybe in the first 3 months, some mood swings? but i think it was me more than the pill) It really clearded my skin well (but i still get some occasional breakouts not as bad though, no more big cystic acne like before) I ve tried so many products from natural ones to antiobiotics and i m telling you dont waste your time with that.. if you re really depressed and ace is affecting u re self-esteem TAKE DIANE! it s really not bad!! it helps a lot!!!
