Hi, i have been taking a good look around this website and it is so reassuring to know i have somewhere to go, no...really...you cant imagine how pleased i am to find this site!!!!
wel...anyway, back to the main point, is any one else on Dianette pills?, Its deals with my hairyness, oily skin and periods. It makes me feel a little queesy, gives me a few headaches and makes me very hungry (ARGHHHH), but is supposed to work very well, shall see in a couple of weeks hopefully!
If anyone else is using it could you please tell me what symptoms you get from it and wether it has worked for you or not!
I only made this thread cos i've been reading about metformin and other drugs but not about Dianette!
Thanks

hey glad you found us here!

I was on Diane (called Diane-35 in Canada) but it didn't agree with me. I was on it for about six months. My complexion got much much better, my periods were like clockwork and fairly light. I didn't notice any difference with my hairiness though.

(pills are weird - they work differently and give off different side effects for every person.)

But, I had to get off Diane. I was getting CRAZY mood swings that I didn't think I was capable of. It wasn't even limited to 'that time of the month', but month long. I'm amazed my boyfriend didn't leave me during those six months! haha.

It wasn't worth it for me, so I switched back to Tricyclen.

don't get discouraged by my experience though! I know some women who turned into real b!tches on tricyclen, but Diane is great for them.

This is my second time on Dianette and I have to say it works for me. My face clears up, I have less discomfort with my period, my sex drive is improved , and the hair on my face slows its growth. I do have headaches, but I am willing to put up with that if it helps even out my hormones and makes me a happier person to live with! I'm currenly off the BCP for the second month in a row because I'm due to have my Androgen level blood test to definitely diagnose my PCOS- they didn't test for the right thing last time...AARGH!

I have to say I went off the pill the first time after feeling freaked about some possible side effects- but my current GP assures me that they aren't any more likely than other side effects.
