Pros:

doesnt work sh*t for acne... or using for bc...

Cons:

i was hung over the toilet every time i would take it... i lost 10 pounds because of this...

dont take this pill.... its bad for you in the first place you are only suppose to stay on it for 4-6 months and if it makes your acne worse when you get off of it, its not worth it. i would rather go on accutane rather then this....

Pros:

Works as a birth control

Cons:

Heart Palpitations, Nausea, IBS

I used it for a year and then I realized that it wasn't worth being on it or any other pill. Changes hormones and disrupts normal balance in the body. I don't recommend any pill or anything artificial.

Pros:

slightly bigger boobs....

Cons:

headaches, sick to my stomach when I first started, leg pain, seems to have brought out every zit my face was planning on having in the next couple months. I'm depressed and on edge. Not sure if its the pills or the fact that my face looks like hell

When I started these pills my face was worse than it had ever been before in my life. I just finished my first pack and I haven't had much improvement. My face seemed to get even worse, and in the last couple days it may have improved a bit. I am really hoping that this is one of those instances where it gets worse before it gets better....just about everyone else on here has been raving about how their skin cleared up so fast. I am not feeling great at all. It really sucks having to go to work every day with my face like this. I swear I will never complain about a few zits again if this goes away. I'm 25 and all of a sudden my face just freaked out. Has anyone else taken these pills and had their face get worse, or not get better for a while??

February 11, 2008

Pros:

Clearer skin

Cons:

No period,extreme nausea & vomitting,tiredness,bad fluid retention.

Dr prescribed this as a last resort for me (i have high bp!)due to hormonal imbalance after the birth of my last baby. I suffered terribly every 6wks with heavy period loss,vomitting,nausea&period pain. This pill has really made no difference to me. I have just finished my 2nd mth of Diane & still no bleeding (no, I'm not pregnant). But still suffer from the other symptoms. It is great for my skin & reduced my oily skin & hair significantly...which I loved!

Pros:

None yet...

Cons:

Sore breasts. Erythema (little red dots) on feet, legs and arms, Got some really big painful zits. Other things maybe not related to diane like bad pains on both legs.

I have been on it for a little more than a month, it seems it takes a while to work, but I have been having strange symptoms, not sure if it's from Diane but they started little after starting taking it. Also it seems one of the most common side effects is depression, which I already have, so... I'll give it a couple more months. I just wished the doctor had asked me if I had any illnesses or anything that could become worse by taking diane or tell me the side effects, because I wouldn't have wanted to start taking it. But I already bought the pills necessary for 6 months because he told me to go back in 6 months to see how it was working. Reading all the side effects and problems that can come of taking it I think I should see him sooner than 6 months...
