-- Hi! I've been looking on the net for information on Diane ED 35 myself. I have been on the pill for almost 5 years. I had really bad acne which has cleared up great which makes me apprehensive about going off it. I did wonder of the long term effects of taking it. I have put on loads of weight since starting on it. Wondered whether it's conected?
