Hi
I have been on dianette now for probably about 2 years and i think my doctor is going to make me come off it soon ..
I originally started taking it to control my dodgy skin and now im petrified that if i stop taking it that its all going to come back ...
has anyone else had this experience ?

did the doctors try other stuff before putting you on the pill?
I came off Dianette fast as had what they thought was a focal migraine, my skin got worse but not as bad as it had been before I started taking it. I got differin cream, which takes a few weeks to work but that pretty much cleared things up again.
It's worth asking if you can do some kind of overlap with somrthing else rather than just stopping treatment all together.
Unfortunately they won't prescribe it for much longer than two years running. It's slightly different to other pills.
Not related, but my sister uses differin and its worked great on her also.
This was the only pill i could take, without gettin' headaches, and feeling sick, I was on it for two years, but the doctor said it wouldn't be safe to stay on it for longer, as they were unsure of the long-term affects of it.
and yep, my skin went shite again, once i'd came off.
It's nothing to get excited about.
