Every pill I have taken has regulated my period but seems to have some other side effect. Aviane however, is most definitely the wor http://www.medications.com/effect/view/37180 Tue, 02 Dec 2008 13:12:16 -0500 http://www.medications.com/effect/view/37022 I haven't been on Aviane long. I've used Depo (the needle) and I have also been on Alese. I was told Aviane and Alese were the same thing. I highly doubt that. My reaction to returning to birth control after my second child has been drastically different t http://www.medications.com/effect/view/37022 Sat, 29 Nov 2008 23:24:48 -0500 http://www.medications.com/effect/view/36962 Yeah I don't know why physicians just put us on this Aviane because its "cheaper" than Alysse. Mine told me it was basically the same thing but it's obviously not because I've been breaking out in zits like crazy ever since I went on it. I also got harsh http://www.medications.com/effect/view/36962 Tue, 25 Nov 2008 12:28:39 -0500 http://www.medications.com/effect/view/36888 I have been on the pill for about a week now, I haven't noticed any mood swings but I have noticed the horrible cramps! I have had to miss work for these cramps, totally defeating the purpose of why I started this pill. I am stopping today!

I have suffered from depression in the past and that is why my family physician had prescribed this low dose birth control.

During this time, I had very severe cramps during my period. This included majoe hot flashes, to a point where I would sweat! Just about every time I ate, I would have to go to the restroom with severe diarreha.

I was fine for the first few months. Then I started losing my hair which girls usually do but for me I never ever lost hair, in my brush on my clothes, in the shower never lost hair and http://www.medications.com/effect/view/36438 Mon, 10 Nov 2008 13:11:15 -0500 http://www.medications.com/effect/view/36433 I have been on Aviane for nearly 2 months and I hate it. I NEVER have break outs and I mean never. Since I have been on aviane my face is simply disgusting. I have breakouts all over, every day and have been since about a week into my medication.

I was on Alesse for over 2 years with zero side effects.

I as well, was switched to Aviane (as it's cheaper) and have noticed a HUGE lack of sex drive. I'm in my "sexual prime" and couldn't understand what was going on. My fiance actually thought I was cheating on him because I'm http://www.medications.com/effect/view/36053 Thu, 23 Oct 2008 00:30:33 -0400 http://www.medications.com/effect/view/35919 Sorry to repeat this post, but I wanted to make sure people know about it. I replied to a 19 yo who sounded perfectly ok with being on this pill, and it made me shudder.

I took Alesse for four years with not one problem. Same case as everyone else, I got switched to Aviane as it was "the same" and cheaper.

I normally have anxiety and depression issues, but they went off the charts while I was on Aviane.

I started taking it for extremely painful cramps that induced vomiting and dizziness. I wasn't taking it for birth control, acne control, or anything else. It worked wonders for my cramps.

I had no bad side effects & everything was great those 6 months but I didn't renew the prescription because remembering the pill everyday is a hassle...

I've been researching it all day and can't find any answers. Does anyone know why they would change the name?

I have experienced serious bowel problems specifically inflammation and extreme pain.

In the beginning it is really rough because your body has to get used to it. After about 3-4 months though it does get better.
