Birthcontrol(diane 35) and the terrible weight changes
Im going to make this as short as possible.
Last year I started Diane 35 and in a matter of 2 months with no change to diet or activity I had gained about 10 pounds overnight. I know that is common, so I tweeked my diet and upped my gym sessions...lost a ton of weight, and for some reason I kept on loosing even when I started eating like crap. I originally started taking it for acne by the way and I was 17 at the time of taking it. Acne cleared and I dropped weight after 4 months, I reached 100 pounds. I quit taking it due to side effects (looking anorexic, headache, hairloss. . . etc.etc.)
Having been off of it for almost a year now, I gained all the weight back, and then some. I feel gross. It makes me want to take it again.
SO, My point in question is,
Has anyone ever LOST weight on Birthcontrol and then gained alot when quitting. If so, when you restarted the birthcontrol, did the weight drop like it did before?
Please Someone reply, I have lost hope and would love an answer already.
Fyi, I didnt have an eating disorder at the time. I know it seems like I would but I kid you not, I ate ten times worse but still lost it.

Diane35 was pulled from the market in lots of countries and now in Canada is only prescribed for serious acne. Due to the extremely high risks I would not recommend starting it again for weightloss, when most bc cos weight gain. I was on diane35 8 years ago.. I experienced no weightless. I suggest a fitness regime to lose weight, as well as a healthy diet!!!
