Alesse and weight gain

well i am am African American and over 40 yrs of age my obgyn at the time in 2008 prescribed Alesse (aviane) for me due to awful pains with endometriosis (returning) so for a while just like most of these reviews i am reading i like other people suffered headaches, weight gain, full feeling and a little bit of other things that soon went away after 3-6 months, but you know just recently (past 4 to 6 mos) or so i have had really bad dreams, abnormal dreams to night mares....i have come through a whole lot of adversity with my health (fibromyalgia sufferer and osteo arthritis etc) NEVER HAD I EVER HAD AN EXPERIENCE LIKE THIS BEFORE...I HOPE SOMEONE OUT THERE CAN TELL ME HAVE THEY WENT THROUGH THIS...I hope not....but in my opinion I am aiming to ask the good ole doctor to move me to something else...in short i blame the birth control Alesse(Aviane) Thank you

I was on Alesse for years. I never remember any side effects in the beginning. But then I started having light , but continuous breakthrough bleeding. My nurse put me on Yasmine. At first I didn't realize I was haing side effects until they got worst: breast tenderness, weight gain, breast enlargement, extreme weakness, irritability, contact irritation. The side effects went away for the most part, but my boobs and hips are still much bigger. I am thinking about tryin Aleese again

I have been on alesse for a little over a month. I have experienced very little side effects and have been happy with this pill so far. I experienced some break through bleeding for about a week in the first month and some breast tenderness but that is all. The plus side, my period lasted two a half days-with very little cramps. No weight gain or mood swings.
