Yeah I don't know why physicians just put us on this Aviane because its "cheaper" than Alysse. Mine told me it was basically the same thing but it's obviously not because I've been breaking out in zits like crazy ever since I went on it. I also got harsh mood swings, intense fits of anger (broken furniture can attest to this) and it comes completely randomly; one tiny thing can set me into a fit of rage. I had previously been using Alysse since I was 16 (I'm now 22) and it worked perfectly - didn't have harsh breakouts, my moods were normal, didn't gain weight. I've been taking Aviane for more than six months now and the zits (which are often huge and painful) haven't gone away :( I wash my face day and night, haven't changed my diet at all... So I can only assume it's because of hormonal changes - which only leaves Aviane.
I'm definitely switching back to Alysse - hell I'll pay the extra five dollars if it means a clear complexion and my/my boyfriend's sanity!!!

I have been taking Lisinopril 40mg.for about 4 months now for high BP. It works very well for the BP issue. Since I have started taking it I have had the dry cough, but its not so bad that I would have change anything because of the fact that it IS helping my BP. I have also noticed that I have been getting the numbness in my arms mostly my left. My Nephrologist mentioned that its Steal Syndrom caused from my Fistula Creation (dialysis access). After reading these posted side affects I think its from Lisinopril. ALSO, in the past 2 months I have been getting acne. First thought it was from my diet, but I have not changed anything in my diet. Its almost like my body is trying to get rid of something in my system. This is not the ordinary acne problem, this is on my face, back of my neck(hairline), on my shoulders and back. The "acne" gets very bad and when I get something out of the sores it has a very strong metallic type smell. Also, I am experiencing the itching, which has been getting worse the past few days. As of today I will NOT be taking any more Lisinopril. I am certain Lisinopril is the cause of all of my problems. Has anyone experienced acne from this product??
Thanks,

Yup another Thank God for this web site... I have been taking Yasmion for about two months and i have been in emotional hell, I can't take the depression I am irritable, moody depressed ALL the time my friends and family can't stand to be around me, and I have never been so depressed in my entire life. The good thing is my face cleared up, I have never has such a clear complexion, but I didn't loose any weight, in fact I think my appetite increased. This pill is horriable for me.

I started taking Advair about 1 1/2 years ago. Around September of last year I reported white dots on my throat to my doctor, he gave me a z-pack (over the phone). I suffered with these white dots/fungus on and off for over 6 months now and recently found out it's a yeast infection. I was prescribed a medicine you swish with. As soon as I was done with the med., I got the yeast infection back but even worse!! I have night sweats, break outs all over my body (I used to have a very clear complexion), I cough up thick chunky mucus and am tired all the time. My doctor ran a bunch of tests and found nothing else wrong and took me off Advair immediatly. Now what? I did great on Serevent and Flovent inhalers and now all they have is disks! I'm afraid to take more disks, I just want to start feeling better.

I have been taking Januvia for 1 1/2 months and I have the worst case of acne. I have never had an issue in my life. I have white heads all over my face. I am a 50 yr old woman who has always had a clean clear complexion. I am beside myself and hate looking in the mirror or even going out. I am literally cover in tiny l bumps similar to "baby acne" or millia. People who know me right away remark about what is going on with my face. I am convinced it is related as it started after 3 days on the new med. I had an allergic reaction to "glucafase" (?).
