Cons:

Moodswings
Didn't clear my skin entirely! A bit of a disappiontment!

I'm 18 and I used Diane for a year. When I noticed my skin wasn't clearing up completely I went back to a dermatologist. After he inspected my skin he found that Diane wasn't the answer to my problem - although it did keep it under control. He recommended Oratane (50mg p/d - dosage depends on bodyweight) which I used for six months. Although the symptomes are like nothing I can describe (really painful!!! Perseverance!), I have to say that it was completely worth it. I have gotten so many compliments and I'm so chuffed with the result. I am still using Diane to keep the hormones from "threatening" my smooth skin. As time goes by my skin seems to become more beautiful... If Diane doesn't give you the result you're looking for, there's no harm in asking for a alterior solution!

Pros:

great skin after 2 to 3 months on it. takes away the bad oils

Cons:

loss of sex drive and motivation.

choice is acne or natural hormone balance which creates a libito... so I'm going off the pill when i next get them.

Pros:

works as a contraceptive

Cons:

takes a while to work, depression, fear of blood clots in legs, tender breasts

I've been taking it for two months - my acne is worse than ever. :( I'm going to take it for another 1-2 months to see if it works. But I am very worried about having relapse acne after I stop taking it. I need to seek a more permanent solution. Also, it is dangerous for blood clots. yikes.

Pros:

I really don't see any pros... I was expecting this stuff to clear my acne up but it never did. My acne actually got worse at times.

Cons:

The acne didn't go away for me. Mind you I probably have chronic acne.

I went on this for over 6 months, my dermatologist took me off of it because obviously it wasn't working. I guess this works for some people so it doesn't hurt to try it. Just don't get upset if it doesn't work.

Pros:

none yet

Cons:

headaches especially at nights

I went to my Gyno to recommed a birth control for me as Im getting married soon, she noticed that I have some acne(had this since 12 and I 26 now) and prescribed Diana 35, I have been taking it for just about two weeks now and notice that I get headaches every night about 2 hours after taking the pill, have'nt seen any improvement in my acne yet but I'm definately going to continue using it, as I will love to have clear skin, and bigger breasts I realy want bigger breasts, this will make me feel more confident and sexy, which will lead to a better sex life for me and my husband to be. No mood swings, belive this is all in your mind.

Pros:

Clears skin eventually, regular periods

Cons:

Total loss of sex drive, vaginal dryness, recurrent utis, ACNE 100X WORSE WHEN TRYING TO STOP THE PILL

I had moderate acne as a teen, no cystic just many and my skin is suseptible to red marks. I went on this medication at age 15 and two years later my skin was clear. I was on this medication for 7 years at which time I went off the pill due to almost constant utis. I had a sex drive for the first time ever... and also the worst cystic acne I've ever had. This pill will make your acne permanent. It is only a last ditch solution!!! If I could do it again, I'd go with Accutane or Spiro first. Now I have permanent cystic acne when my little sister grew out of hers at age 20 (she wasn't on diane)

Pros:

It clears up your acne once you've been on it for a while.. no weight side effects

Cons:

Extremely expensive if you're not under a plan (2 months = $75.00).. and if you decide to go off, bad acne break outs occur..

I've been on it for five years.. and I just recently went off it because my acne was all clear.. BIG MISTAKE.. completely broke out with acne badly, and so I went back on it and I'm going through my 3rd month of pills and it's still bad. My advice: if you're gonna go off it, find a better alternative such as Pro-Active if it's for acne, if it's birth control well just stick with condoms
