i was put on dianette for a while due to unwanted hair, although it wasnt all that noticeable but it was to me. during the year of taking dianette my weight, i ended up putting on about 2 stone in weight, which most of that went on my breasts to be honest i thorght wow but i noticed i had a double chin and a bit of a tummy which was the main reason why i stoped taking it, but the side effect are differnt with every one so i can only speak for myself.
i think most of it is to do with water retention ,i noticed i went to the toilet once/ twice a day if i was lucky (storing it like a camal) when i did finally come off it the weight came off very quickly. plus it never really made any difference to the excess hair. in side effect outweight the benifits in my opinion.
