AVIANE IS A TERRIBLE PILL!!!!
I know that it sounds silly, but it isn't a joke. I was on put on Aviane when I was 17 for extreme cramps and so my period would become regular, I'm now 19, and recently switched to Yaz.
The Aviane had begun to make me very very ANGRY! I was always on edge and the smallest thing would set me off. I had signs of extreme depression as well, and I am usually a happy peppy person. I never wanted to go out and do anything anymore. I was either really sad or really irritable.
I had fits of rage and violence, screaming, throwing things, I wanted to hit anyone that came near me. Then ten minutes later I would want my boyfriend to come snuggle me and hold my hand! I saw a counselor because I didn't suspect the Aviane...I had been on it for so long. But she said that I wasn't like that for no reason and needed to see my GYN, who told me my hormones were off the wall and I needed to stop the Aviane right away.
When I was on this pill I wasn't the same person. I was mean, angry, sad, irritable, I felt like I was going crazy. Now I know it wasn't me, It was my pill. My mom wants to start a class action. We will see.

Well, I used to be on Loestrin, but after about 8 months it started making me skip periods. I had one every other month, which was really disconcerting. Dr. said it was that it had too much of each hormone in it. Aviane was the switch. However, I have had the following symptoms: rage (!!!), sadness...I cry every time I watch television and I'm not a crier by nature. and when I first started taking it I was nauseated a lot and even threw up sometimes. Boyfriend almost broke up with me after our last rage fight and I keep thinking it's me but now I wonder if it's this pill.

I have been on aviane for 4 months and i hate it! I have all the side effects: headaches, nightmares, acne, fatigue, mood swings, depression, anger, long periods, weight gain, rage, etc.... I could list alot more! I am so glad I went on this page because now I know its the pill and I'm not going crazy. I have had such a horrible experience with this pill that I am stopping it today mid-cycle just to feel "normal" again. I cry for any reason, I'm mean to those I love and I feel like I should be going to therapy. I've never had acne before and now I get a pimple and its there for weeks! I have gained weight even though I work out 5 days a week and I am so lathargic that its a battle to stay up past 9pm. I think this pill should be taken off the market. I was on yaz before and stopped because I experience break through bleeding, but I want to get back on it. A liitle spotting every now and then is much better than feeling insane!
