I was on dianette from 16 to 23 it cleared my acne up amazingly then I had a 9 months break ot came back full force now back on it for 6 months and still have acne hopefully it will fade last last time . I had no side effects apart from slight water retention and slightly bigger breasts . I don't feel like it impacted my mental health much maybe increased anxiety slightly
Somewhat negative mood

I loved being on Dianette, no more heavy periods, clear skin, moods were fine. I took it from age 16 until age 33 which I wouldn't recommend long term, only because of my experience with infertility now, I don't know if it was caused by long term pill use but If I had all the information that I do now I probably wouldn't take it for so long.

I cannot believe this is still being described when significant numbers have commented on its effects on mental health. I spent 3 years of my life on this pill with incessant mood swings and depression. When I switched to another pill all of that evaporated.
Very negative mood
