"i was on diane 35 for seven yrs (15-23 my skin was amazing) what i didn&#039;t realize was that diane caused me to gain a lot of weight, i put it on almost immediately (age 15) and struggled with weight issues and an eating disorder. when i stopped diane at 23 to have kids, i quickly lost about 15 lbs (5lbs of water) and my insane appetite as well.  after children i wanted to go back on diane for nice skin. i promptly gained the weight, eating issues returned! so i quit and decided to try spiro. 25 mg once a day. my skin started clearing immediately but within 3 weeks i had weight gain, aged 5 yrs, along with other horrible side effects! since quitting for two days i feel myself again! i&#039;ll stick with skin ceuticals acne kit and zinc supplements!!"
