Prescribed Dianette to help improve my skin at 17 it worked wonderfully and after 4 months my skin had transformed. Remained on the pill for 3 years, my GP then explained it was no longer a safe pill, the risk of clots was much higher than other pills and so I changed to another pill (Yaz). Fast forward 6 months and the side effects were horrendous so I returned to the GP who refused to prescribe Dianette again. I went elsewhere and used an online doctor service who prescribed it for 2 years before the same reasoning for stopping the prescription was raised again. I have been told to experiment with taking different pills before I find one that suits me. I find this such a counter productive method of finding the correct prescription as I am currently dealing with many negative side effects while trying to find ‘the one’.
