Dianette pill

My doctor has prescribed this to me twice over the last couple years. The first time I came off due to large amount of weight gain. The second time I thought I would try and put my weight gain into perspective if the pill were to improve my skin. Since taking dianette my acne has been more controlled but I wouldn’t say I have perfect clear skin. My moods are low and I feel I am carrying an extra 5-10 pounds of water. I eat well and I’m very active so for me the extra weight is really frustrating. I’m coming off this pill this week and will be trying yasmin instead.
