I started taking Aviane last week. Before that, I'd been on nothing for six months, and before that I was on NuvaRing for six months. I was prescribed birth control because I have really bad hormonal acne that nothing else fixes. I stopped taking the NuvaRing because it make me feel slightly brain dead lethargic?) and very depressed (but my skin looked great!). Anyway, Aviane. I feel really, really good. Normally, I'm sort of depressed and I have a lot of mood swings throughout the month, but all this week I have felt startlingly sane. I can think clearly, my emotions are totally under control. My husband has even noticed! I really hope this isn't just an early side effect! On the down side, I have constant mild nausea, some trouble sleeping, and it makes me feel kind of sleepy. I'm going to try taking it before bed and see if that helps. Also, I may be having trouble sleeping because I've been drinking more coffee than usual during the day. I have not experienced any weight gain yet, also a good sign, since I usually blow up within the first week or two.

I used Aviane for a month and a half now and I see nothing wrong with it. It did not make me sick, I THINK I did notice a swing on my mood while I was on my period not a serious one but I was more emotional when Im usually not - hopefully it was just a bad week but other than that this pill did not affect my emotions towards more positive or negative. I did take Alesse for the two first weeks and they made me sick the first week where I felt like puking up and just sleeping all day - I was worried to go on the pill again, but Im glad I picked this one its a close form of "Alesse" but this one did not make me sick or feel any weird up and downs towards my emotions. Also my period came right on the 2nd non-active pill and stopped 1-2 before I had to start the active ones again. It doesn't mess up the cycle which I was also happy about! Anyway try it out I think it work great for me!
