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:

I only had very very mild acne. But all of my friends were on this pill and looking great so I decided to give it a try. It didn't do much for me- I attribute my clear skin to Benzoyl Peroxide

Cons:

Don't want to come off of it and end up looking like a Pizza

What it does currently and what going off of it can do make this pill VERY addictive I would not recommend going on it unless your condition is severe Doctors hand this out like there's no tomorrow which is fine for me now, but I only wish they'd questioned me before allowing me to commence taking this pill

Pros:

Clears skin, birth control

Cons:

Loss of libido, vaginal dryness, chronic yeast infections

I would strongly advise anyone thinking of taking this medication to reconsider. Yes it did clear up my acne (mild-moderate) but the side effects were definately not worth it. This pill is an anti-androgen. Androgens are responsible for sex-drive. No wonder than that taking this pill totally killed my libido. The other side effects I had were vaginal dryness and yeast infections that refused to go away no matter what I did. After about 3-4 months of stopping the pill my acne came back about twice as bad as it was before. Now I'm on roaccutane - the only product on the market that offers the possibility of a cure for acne. I only wish I would have taken roaccutane in the first place instead of messing around with that horrible pill. Hopefully this helps someone.

Pros:

Less acne, bigger boobs

Cons:

Weight Gain, painful periods

I've only been on the pill for two months, but can honestly say that my skin has improved dramatically, yet I put on 2kg. I haven't suffered depression or anything, my self esteem has sky rocketed!
