I took Alesse 3 years ago with no problems, Aviane is horrible. I've been on it for a week, thought I'd tough it out. Forget it. Anxiety, increased heart rate, irritability, depression, negativity, intense nausea and heartburn, weight gain, increased hunger, insomnia, bloating, dry eyes...you name it. The only issue is that I can't find brand-name Alesse anymore, pharmacies say it hasn't been produced since 2007, is this true? Anyone know if or where it's available? Some of you are writing in 2008 and seem to be taking Alesse, any help is appreciated!

Alesse is sitll available. the compandy had a problem with the packaging in 2007 so it was in short supply. Get your Dr. to write your prescription for Alesse with "no substitutions" then your insurance company might cover the difference. Also, ask you pharmacist about a card that the Alesse drug reps are giving to them to cover the difference between aviane and alesse.

Have you been able to find the name brand Alesse?

? I have been told my 2 pharmacies it was discontinued in 2007 and only Aviane is available. I only took Alesse until I had my son and have tried over 5 different pills after nursing him and nothing seems to be like Alesse. I am desperate to have it back. Any help would be appreciated it! Thanks so much, Crystal
