I could not be happier for coming across this site. I truly thought something was wrong with me. My pharmacist mentioned that there is a cheaper generic version of Alesse called Aviane with the same ingredients available. After a few days I began to have tingling in various parts of my head, I would call that unusual headaches and would become dizzy for no apparent reason. I began to have palpitations and have anxiety even when sitting at home. My sleeping has been turned upside down and I now wake up at least 3 times at night. Nothing has changed in my life since I began Aviane only 9 days ago, however physically there have been many changes. How is it that the pharmacists claim that the two versions are the same when so many of us are having such radical changes?
