I started Aviane May 07 and just recently stopped this month of Mar 08. During this period, I have went from a size 5 to 9 and from 130 lbs to 151which now makes me overweight for my height 5'3. I gotten stretch marks on my breast and I constantly get yeast infections. I constantly feel depressed or like hitting someone and the weight gain didn't make that much easier. People have commented on the weight gain and even mom said I looked "puffy" which sent me to tears. I've never felt so insecure or moody and couldn't quite place my finger on what it was. Now that I have been off for about 3 weeks, I feel like another woman. The only good thing is that my skin cleared up and of course no babies.

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.

Hi,
My daughter was put on this pill as a hormone pill.She has had 3 cysts removed from her ovaries in 8 months. She is sixteen. My daughter is always hormonal around her time, however i would not give this pill to anyone...She has been evil,miserable, moody, hair loss, and her anger has been out of control.
Please think twice before taking this medication.My daughter has been just saying mom, I dont know why I am like this..We have been fighting terrible.Thank you for all the comments. I now ubnderstand..
Also in the begining all she did was sleep.
Any suggestions for better medication.The weight is also been a factor.She also feels very depressed like no one likes her in school.
Thank you

I've been on Avaine for 2 months now... And I'm feeling so crappy right now. I've always had an irregular period, where I would miss a month or two then it would come back with a vengeance and last for almost a month in a half. I never had cramping until I started taking this pill. Last month it was so unbearable I was in the fetal position at my aunts house. She tried desperately to comfort me but nothing helped. I ended up going to the emergency room. I was given morphine and some other pain meds. The doctors thought it was my appendix at first so I was given an ultrasound and a cat scan. My ovaries were fine and everything was fine. Six hours in the emergency room and I was told it was really bad menstrual pain. How lame is that? Anywho I went to Australia with my bf and well yea you know... Now I think I'm pregnant... so thanx Avaine. Not sure what to do anymore, afraid if I stop I will most definitely become pregnant. I'm going to take a test.. not ready to be a mom. Cross your fingers for mr guys!
