I was on Aviane for almost 3 weeks, but had to go off of it a few days ago. I normally have anxiety and depression issues, but they went off the charts while I was on Aviane. My general practitioner said that bc pills don't aggravate mental illness, but I'm thinking "the hell they don't!". In addition to being really nauseas and having a near constant cramping in my uterus for the last few days I was on it, I was having severe mood swings, high anxiety, hysterical crying spells, and I just felt so hellish that I wanted to die. My boyfriend was having to calm me down at least once a day. I couldn't handle any stress at all. All it took was my dog peeing on the carpet to send me into a breakdown. Right now I haven't had a pill in two days and I'm finally starting to feel a little better. Hopefully this will continue and I can try another bc.
