Yep! Dianette makes me really hungry. I have no idea why.

Diane 35 is making me really hungry. It has somewhat improved my skin, I am on month two. I can't really complain about it except that it does make me hungry. I am normal weight but have a tendency to overeat so I have already gained a few pounds on Diane! I am hoping it will go away over time and this weight won't stay.

I'm the opposite I eat less on the pill, but gain weight. However, I do notice off the pill I crave more fruits & vegetables & on the pill I want carbs, and bad food. BCPs really wack me up.

Oh, and I'm also thirsty ALL the time on BCP. Weird. Can't wait to get off of them.

I can't stop eating on Diane, even when I have no sensations of hunger. I used to be the sort of person who would forget to eat even when I had hunger pangs. Also, I would never feel hunger sensations before. Now, after taking Diane for just one month, I feel as if I use up food faster, and hunger pangs come so soon after eating. On top of that, I am eating compulsively even when I am not hungry. On the other hand, this makes me feel good in a way. I feel like my metabolism has sped up, like I have more energy and like my body is getting more nutrition out of food! So I've been eating only fruit and vegetables when I have those cravings, and I lost the weight I initially gained on it, I think because even if you eat more, if you eat healthy, sometimes that makes you lose weight because your metabolism speeds up.

Yes. I would take generic ortho at night and sometimes have to get up in the middle of the night and eat carbs or cheese or something and then go back to bed and hope I could fall asleep.

Can you give an example of what you eat, and you're hungry one hour later?

I am starting to get pretty ticked off about how hungry I am and how much weight I am gaining on Diane 35. Has anyone that has been on it for a long time know if this subsides???

Check out this paragraph I just found doing some research. Does it make sense to all you IR experts out there?

Do birth control pills stimulate your appetite? There have been reports through the years, especially with the older, higher dose pills, of adverse effects on insulin resistance. Even recent studies seem to indicate that current pills can raise insulin levels. Insulin resistance is a condition in which insulin levels rise in response to carbohydrates and drive all energy into the fat cells and essentially prevent weight loss even with dieting.
Not all women are susceptible to insulin resistance and thus not all women gain weight using oral contraceptives. Those that have a tendency to abnormal glucose metabolism, however may be the ones who gain weight. If a woman gains weight upon starting oral contraceptives and there are not other explanations, she should be checked out for possible insulin resistance.

OMG I thought it was just me!! Yasmin did the same thing to me!! If I didn't eat something every 2 hours I felt like I was going to DIE! I switched back to Desogen because of the weird dreams and insomnia Yasmin was causing...and then realized I was no longer hungry all the time! Wish I had figured that one out sooner! *grrrr*
