Diane-35 : Oral Contraceptive

Stay off bith control pills and trust God to help you and direct you. Always research all pills that doctors recommend.

I'm going off it once my 3 months is up. Very expensive too

I haven't tried Diane yet but my doctor prescribed it for my acne yesterday. I didn't want to take this, I told the Dr. that I wanted Tri-cyclen Lo because I was on it before and it worked and I had no side effects as well as the benefit of an effective birth control but he insisted I get Diane. The doctor did not disclose any side effects of Diane but through the research I've done it seems that this product has more harmful and/or unwanted side effects than any other "birth control" pill. Even the pharmacist failed to answer my questions about side effects. I took it as there is something to hide. I won't be taking this medication, I will be going back this week to get the Tri-cyclen Lo. I don't understand why a drug like Diane would even be legal in Canada; it's not legal in the U.S. which is a big clue. I would rather be pimply than have the side effects that I read off of the entries here and other research. My face isn't REALLY bad; it's not worth risking my self-esteem.

i have been on the diane pill for almost three weeks.. my skin has broken out horribly.. i never had bad skin before.. just the odd pimple here and there.. im on it for control of my cists, and birth control... should i get off of it? or is it normal to break out before it starts to kick in and clear my skin ?

i am unsure if it is going to work. i have facial, chest and back acne and so far no improvements! :( if anyone has experienced the same things please post a comment!

I have acne that hurt. That brought me to my gynecologist who found polycystic ovaries and prescribed me Diane-35. I was supposed to start taking it today, but I won't do it, after reading the package leaflet. I've made a little research on my own and I want to shear it. Women with polycystic ovary syndrome usually have at least several of the many signs and symptoms associated with PCOS, including: Irregular or no menstruation, Signs of excess androgen, Enlarged ovaries with multiple cysts, Infertility, Obesity, Skin tags, Prediabetes.. [link removed] [link removed] The exact cause is not totally clear, but it is most likely that the body has much more insulin that it needs. Here is another helping link. [link removed] I'm gonna try the homeopathic way. I have acne for 12 years and I can wait for little bit longer to get rid of them. Support

I suffured of acne when i was 20-25,after taking doxyline,it been cure,i am 36 with 2 kids,but since april my face brokeout,doc recommamed diane 35 to me but i haven't take it,can anyone let me know the benefit of diane 35,

I have been on the pill for two months. My doctor told me that despite what a lot of people say your skin is NOT supposed to get worse before it gets better. Before I got on the pill, I had one or two pimples on my face at a time. Now, I constantly have clusters of about 5 pimples in several areas of my face. They aren't small pimples either- they are big and extremely red. This has decreased my confidence a lot and I have subsequently developed a hate for this pill. I am fairly sure that the pill has effected my overall mood also. Before I got on the pill I experiences severe emotional outbursts as a result of PMS around the time of my period. After going on the pill I do not experience severe out bursts of emotion around the time of my period but I do experience a lesser emotional stability in general throughout the entire month. I find that I am more easily irritated or upset. I would not recommend this pill. Run while you can, now that I'm on it- I'm scared my pimples will be EVEN worse if I get off and I am reluctant to change brands. I will ride this hellish ordeal out for another couple of months to see if my symptoms subside. But if it's birth control you are looking for- get an implant in your arm or your tubes tied. PLEASE, Just don't get this pill!

I am a 28 year old and I have never taken any oral contraceptives before, my gyno put me on Diane 35 to control my acne, which is awful for someone my age. It caused me so much embarrassment and depression. I did a lot of research before starting my pack today and see that Diane 35 is either really good or really bad. The side effects that concern me the most are weight gain...I already weigh enough thank you very much and the blood clots...(thankfully I don't smoke) As we speak I developed the most awful headache! Can I take Motrin or Advil or Tylenol for this??? HELP!!! Any advice would be appreciated! Thanks!
