I have been on Aviane since January. I started taking it for extremely painful cramps that induced vomiting and dizziness. I wasn't taking it for birth control, acne control, or anything else. It worked wonders for my cramps. I had a regular period, no spotting, and no excruciating pain. That being said, the rest of my life was awful. I break out like crazy, put on a little bit of wait (nothing to really complain over), and worst of all, I have been in a hazy slump since I started taking it. I wouldn't say its been depression, but it is definitely a fatigue that I can't shake. I don't care about my friends or boyfriend or family until something or someone makes me aware of my blatant rudeness and apathy and then I burst into tears and cry for a whole day. Its awful, and I plan to not start the new pack on Sunday. I'm cutting birth control entirely and hoping it will change things. Has anyone else done this? I'm kind of scared of the side effects of stopping...

Please read my update from being off the pill.

I was so sick I also considered not to ever take anything. This wasn't my rational mind thinking though, it was me all messed up. I came to the realization on a thrusday that everything I was experiencing was due to this pill and I stopped it cold turkey, damn right. I could no longer handle what was going on with my body and mind. It was too hard, I felt very sick. I had no issue with a hault stop b/c I could not imagine having another side effect. I was up to 7 or 8 per day without stop and others adding. The friday, the next day I still had shakes and itchy sensations, little burning of the eye but by the afternoon.... absolute nothing and no new addition of a new side effect I was so afraid of getting. By night I was completely fine and my mood did alter.... back to who I am. I didn't have a single negative thought or pain or annoyance of the body. On saturday I went for a swim, I had energy and by tuesday I lost 9 pounds which for me was great since I gained 20 in around less than 2 weeks. Which is insane, I know. Last and this week, my life has returned to normal. I didn't want to go back on Alesse b/c I was scared. I did though to harmonize the body back to how it was balanced before ... and I feel completely fine. Please consider that if you think you need a change, you do. Do it.
I wish you well. Take care!!!
