I have been on Aviane for about a year and a half with no problems. Before that, I was on Yasmine for a year and after a year I had severe depression so my dr. switched me to Aviane. Now, after a year on that, I am experiencing severe nervousness and anxiety. My dr. told me to go off Aviane for about a week or two and then she will switch me again. I still have the nervousness after almsot a week off it, could this be because my body is just trying to readjust and it will take awhile. Please help...I'm going crazy. I can't go off BC because I have endometriosis and I'd be in extreme pain...otherwise I wouldn't be messing with this stuff.
try yaz. the same thing happened to me, a year and a half on the aviane and then poof, im nervous, panicky, and pissed off.
Thanks for your reply. It has been almost 9 months, and it turns out that I was suffering from a disease called Hashimoto's. I had to start on thyroid medication, plus I have since had to go off all birth control because Estrogen fights for dominance in your body against your thyroid and TSH levels. After almost 9 months I am finally starting to feel like myself again. I think I'm going to lay off the BCP for awhile.
