I started taking Aviane when I was 16 for horrible cramps. When I started having crazy mood swings, acne, and the likes I assumed it was all teenage hormonal crap because my doctor assured me that I wouldn't have abnormal reactions due to the low hormone dosage. Just about two years later when I finally decide to get to the bottom of what could be causing these horrible headaches (which have caused me to think I might have a tumor) I typed up my symptoms and find this. Thank you lovely doctors that gave me this crap! You made me think I was going to die! I'm glad to know that I'm not the only person out there who feels like she's being a bitch for no good reason and can't figure out why. I can't believe all of the confusion I could have saved myself if I had asked for something non-generic.
Do yourself a favor and avoid this crap at all costs. It seriously causes more problems than it solves.
