Diane-35 : Oral Contraceptive

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 ?

Ive been on diane for nearly four years and started because i had severe acne. I had to take the pimple pill roacutane as well to dampen the acne. It eventually went away and my skin is perfect. My breasts grew from size A's to big D's and was a bit overwhelming. I've stopped using diane for nearly a month now and am having a hard timing coping with my body changing to its natural self. I have started getting pimples again, experienced a minor weight loss, and my breasts have gone down to a C. I'm also experiencing constant headaches. Can anybody give me advice on whether i should go back on diane or stay off??

its good. i'm slim yet it gave me a sexy and feminine curves. although my irritability and abrupt changes of my mood makes me irritate my bf.

Its good!!!!

I used it several years back and just used it again recently so I cant tell yet if I'll gain some weight since Im currently dieting.It's very good for the skin and if you are sexually active and will also make you feel more "feminine" because of the increase in female hormones (bigger boobs and hips). The only thing I dont like the most is the feeling of being pregnant- dizzy, vomiting, and stomach acidity - just like the morning sickness. I dont like depression as well because I just cry anytime for no reason even when im at work. I became more sensitive to contact lenses since I took this pill, like the initial feeling when I first fit my contact lenses

Am using it for treating PCOD, and till this date i feel comfortable with Diane 35

i have had moderate to mild acne over the years. since i started taking diane 35, i can see changes in my face and people complement about it. however, it only clears it 50% and i still have to use solutions and creams for my face.

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!

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.

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 :(
