http://www.medications.com/effect/view/29445 I've been on Aviane as my first BC for 3 months and haven't noticed any significant side effects. There's been no weight gain and I've been able to actually start and maintain a fitness program required for a summer job/career (we'll see where it leads!).

I am a month away from 36 and started taking this drug to help painful periods - regulate. I am on other medication for depression and have that under control http://www.medications.com/effect/view/29445?item=18976
