Aviane and generic brand

I was on aviane for 2 months and then switched to the generic brand lutera. While on both I experienced severe anger problems, and I am definitely a very chill/laid back person. I became very snappy and the smallest thing would annoy the hell out of me, I felt like I had anger management issues, but I definitely know that it's from this pill because I never had any issues like this before. Also, my sex drive/libido is almost totally gone. I get dry during sex really easily, and this has also never been a problem before.

Well i have been on Aviane for almost a week now and i have noticed a change in my sex drive it has decreased and even when i try "she" is completely dry. Also I noticed that I have a "I don't really care attitude". I was on Levora first and i had no problems like the ones above but I switched because I would get a yeast-infection every time i stop taking them to get my cycle! Now i am just confused and don't know which way to go. I have tried the Depo shot (bleed for three months), and the ring (bleed on and off for two months). Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

I was prescribed Anesse (or something to that effect?) but Aviane was the generic brand, and since my insurance doesn't cover it right away (I have to send receipts in), it's much smarter for me to buy the more expensive pill.

I do agree with the anger issues. I didn't really tie it to the BC until I read some other symptoms that you all were having- but since I've been on Aviane I have been very impatient and moody. I still have a sex drive, and I still love being with my boyfriend but I get REALLY upset with him VERY easily, which isn't really "me".

I have also been SO tired since I've been on it. Before I started on Aviane I could stay out until 3 in the morning and be fine. Now it's nearly impossible for me to stay awake past 11, and waking up in the morning is even more of a chore.

My skin hasn't necessarily cleared up a lot. I do break out less (generally just around my period, which is expected), but when I do break out it's almost impossible to get rid of.

A good thing is that it definitely does it's job, and I haven't gained any weight. In fact, it's easier for me to lose weight now. :)

I totally agree..oh my the mood swings and the headaches are so severe that all I want to so is sleep. I have been on alesse for the last 1 1/2 and everything was good until my insurance no longer covered it. I had to purchase the generic brand which is aviane. I have only been on it a week and my husband and I can totally notice the changes. I am so moody and just feel really weird on it...
