Aviane and bloated

It seems like everytime I get back on a birth control after getting off it, i react differently. I started on ortho, I felt pregnant, bloated, depressed, acne. Switched to aviane 28 after 2 months, at first, weight loss, clear skin, than cystic pimples in the last week. I stopped early that week, then decided it would be better to finish the pack. So i skipped two of the days and finished the pack. TERRIBLE idea. I've never looked or felt more disgusting in my life and I didn't get a period. I went back on ortho to re regulate myself. Acne, but felt wonderful! unfortunately i stopped b/c the price went up. Felt terrible after stopping dramatic weight loss that i didn't need. Went back on ortho lo, felt weird, very manly. like muscular, and weird puffy face and dark spots on the sides of my face. I lost a pack and decided not to pay $50 again, i;m a college student and bought aviane 28. My skin has never been so clear! I got really tired after taking them so I think next month i'll switch to taking them at night. I don't feel physically healthy yet after a dramatic weight loss after getting off ortho (even though I'm at a healthy weight), but I think i'll continue with them, but take them at night intstead. My advice is don't play around with these hormones. I'm afraid what i'll be like getting off them. I feel safer taking the lower dose though. My sister has been taking this for years, and claims to have no side effects and thinks i'm crazy when I start complaining about birth control.

i am a 37 female. i have been taking aviane for the past 3 months. i have the lap band also. since i have been taking the pill, i have had crazy mood swings. Mad and angry all the time. I have this constant desire to "go off" on everyone. Any and everything makes me angry. I have been very moody. I have wanted to stay off to myself and not be bothered by anyone at all- signs of depression. tired ALL the time. no energy.
Aviane has greatly increased my appetite. I have gained 4 pounds and feel so bloated all month long. beforehand, i was losing weight drastically. i should not be gaining weight at all. I asked my surgeaon was it okay to take aviane. he stated that it would cause drastic water retention. i hate that feeling and my clothes do not fit the same.
I usually get my period at the start of the last red week. I am scheduled to start a whole week later. no spotting. so i guess that is a good thing. I have decided after reading all the postings tonight and added research.. i am not taking the aviane anymore. the best bc for me was the IUD. a few cramps initially, no wieght gain and NO mood swings. it was great, but insurance failed to pay100% for IUD.

I am a 21/f. I have been taking Aviane since June 05' with a short break. The pill seems usefull (by that I mean no pregnancy), but I tend to be 5-7lbs heavier on the pill, along with being very moody, and bloated 10-7days before my period. One thing I hate about this drug is that I get overly stressed, and I get my period....up to 2 weeks early....has anyone else experianced this?
