| 3 | Birth control | Weight gain, acne, tender breasts, fatigue | I was switched from Falmina control to Aviane. The other worked a lot better. It was easier for me to lose weight which is a goal of mine right now. Aviane sucks. I will give it a couple more months to see if anything changes. | F | 27 | 2 months | 1/15/2016 | 1 | Pregnancy prevention | Nausea, anxiety, weight gain, acne, mood swings, headaches, irregular period, major cramping, extreme pms,fatigue | Finally realized after taking this bc for over 2 years, that a lot of my side effects have stopped or have gotten better since stopping taking this medication for over a month. Done with it! I finally have my life back by not taking it anymore. And am seriously reconsidering oral contraceptives at all. | F | 23 | 2 years | 11/25/2015 | 1 | Pregnancy prevention | Severe acne, pelvic pain in first month and mood swings | I've never break out like this before every single day I'm breaking out and to the point it's scarring it's annoying and I can't control it. I break out mostly at chin and between my eyebrows. | F | 23 | 2 months | 11/2/2015 | 1 | Prevent pregnancy\help with cramps | Nausea, headaches, emotional, weight gain | I took this pill for years and was happy with it. Then, I stopped taking it earlier this year for about 7 months and started taking it again. I figured everything would be fine since it always had been in the past but I was so wrong. I have been not too far off from a train wreck since I started up on this again! I have been trying to figure out what is wrong with me and after changing my diet, etc I finally realized that this pill is most likely my issue. Since starting this pill again I've experienced headaches, dizziness, an emotional rollercoaster (I've never been an emotional person), sore boobs (never an issue previously), and an ongoing battle with bloating and weight gain. And I swear all of these symptoms just keep getting worse. Random stuff makes me cry which is so out of character for me. I've always been weight conscious and no matter how healthy I eat or how little I eat, I can't get rid of this bloat I have. It was like I woke up one morning and gained weight over night. I was mortified to wake up and find that I couldn't get my jeans on (& I've been in the same size jeans for years now). I also started waking up with sore boobs...super sore. I can barely even get my bra on and I swear I gained a half cup size overnight. I get nausea most mornings to the extreme that I think I am actually going to throw up. I am DONE with this pill. I'm not even finishing the pack. I hate what it's done to me and its been driving me insane trying to figure out what has be | F | 29 | 5 years | 10/9/2015 | 5 | Prevent pregnancy | I've been on this pill for a year now and I have no issue no side effects nothing, it's done it's job correctly and I am not with child!!! I never gained weight or got horrible acne, didn't make me sick, nothing. But I can say the only thing it do to me was when I first started taking it I had my period for like 2 weeks until my body formed withe the pill. | F | 26 | 1 years .10 | 7/2/2015 | 3 | Prevent pregnancy | I used to take lo loestrin fe which I absolutely loved but I couldn't afford it anymore so my doctor switched me to this. My periods are lighter and tolerable, acne is controlled. Overall I'm extremely tired almost all the time and my breasts have been very sensitive lately and hurt a lot of the time out of nowhere which I'm starting to get sick of and may switch pills because of this since it's almost unbearable. | F | 19 | 5 months 0.12mg | 6/12/2015 | 1 | Pregnancy Prevention | I've always been an anxious persona but after about 7-8 months of using this pill I began experiencing severe anxiety and panic attacks. I also began experiencing horrible signs of depression, feelings of emptiness and lack of motivation. I can't sleep through the night anymore and cry over everything and anything possible. I get very mean and experience lots of highs and lows. I can wake up in a great mood and that can change by the time the afternoon hits. This is horrible and it's ruining my relationship! I mean I'm taking a pill to prevent pregnancy and it's making me not even want to have sex! Save yourself, don't take this pill. | F | 22 | 1 years 1X day | 5/30/2015 | 1 | Birth control | I took aviane when I was younger and there were no apparent negative effects, so now years later I am taking it again. This time It has had horrible effects on me. Complete loss of sex drive, horrific mood swings, and intense menstral cramps. I also experienced scary amounts of fibrous and bloody discharge that looked and felt like much more than my monthly shedding of my uterine wall.My boyfriend and family said I was becoming crazy and a different person. It has made me reconsider taking oral contraceptives all together. | F | 25 | 6 weeks | 4/26/2015 | 1 | Acne, prevent pregnancy | Major mood swings, acne, depression | I took this birth control for almost 3 years and now that I'm off of it I realize it was the cause of my depression! I was originally put on it for acne which it did nothing for. I continued to stay on it because I was afraid to switch since I'm sensitive to medications. This birth control almost cause my boyfriend and I to break up because of my major mood swings. One moment I would be saying I loved him and the next moment I would be insulting him! Aviane made me crazy! I'm angry I stayed on it for so long because now I won't get those years of my life back. | F | 19 | 2 years | 2/15/2015 | 2 | To regulate heavy/irregular period | Moderate to extreme headaches/migraines, mild stomach cramping, bloated, increased acne and tender breasts | F | 16 | 2 weeks | 1/20/2015 | 2 | Frequent periods,heavy cycles | Not usually a miserable person and definitely not emotional. I was wondering why I've been feeling this way for a while. I would snap quickIy when someone would say something. Feel extremely logy in the day time and extremely emotional at night. I would wake up the 3 am in the morning for no apparent reason. Behind the eye headaches and ice pick migraine like headaches. Thought i needed glasses. Never had eye problems. I was booking appointments with all kinds of doctors too get each symptom checked out. Feeling like I'm braking down. Just realized I'm on aviane. Seems like I have no hope with birth control. The only good thing it did was too clear up my acne. I really wanted that too but unfortunately I can't risk my hormones and emotions. | F | 30 days 1X day | 1/6/2015 | 2 | Prevent pregnancy | I've taken this pill off and on for a couple years. I've noticed on the pill: extremely emotional (about everything) anxiety and generally unhappy. I'm complete day and night on this pill. Realized should probably stop when I couldn't have a serious convo with my partner without crying. | F | 28 | 9 months | 12/12/2014 | 1 | heavy menstrual bleeding | terrible anxiety and panic attacks which went away when I stopped this drug. | I thought I was dying as I couldn't breathe, and didn't know what was happening to me. Went to the emergency 7 times in a week - turns out it was panic attacks caused by Aviane. | F | 36 | 3 months 1X day | 12/4/2014 | 4 | Cramps and prevent pregnancy | Overly emotional, headaches, acne, nausea, weight gain | During my first month of this pill I became extremely emotional. I'm usually a laid back person but my partner didn't know what to do with me! Of course he was patient with me because I was starting new medication. The first 2 to 3 weeks I would have very slight nausea when waking up, and I couldn't est that much, but despite that I gained about 5 pounds. Everyone says the pill can't make you go in weight but how else would you explain random weight gain when you're eating less than before and exercising the same amount? Those side effects are now gone after the second month, except for the weight gain. Now, just ending month 4, and I've noticed I get headaches and acne just after starting the inactive pill every month. My pharmacist just switched me to alessya so we'll see how that goes. | F | 19 | 4 months | 12/2/2014 | 4 | Birth control | Small headache , cramps, being hungry | The first week was a little off, I had a few spottings. It wasn't heavy. Now I dont feel anything. I haven't had anything happen to me. This pill is great for me. I haven't gain any weight or had any major side effects. | F | 19 | 2 months | 11/30/2014 | 1 | Prevent pregnancy | Major hair loss, upset stomach, obliterated sex drive, loss of appetite, fatigue, emotional | I used to take lutera which was perfect and got switched to this stuff. I thought all birth control was relatively the same but boy was I wrong. | F | 20 | 2 months | 11/14/2014 | 1 | Hormone balance | Extreme abdominal pain, nausea, moody, headaches, can't function because of being so extremely ill, fatigue, no desire for anything, depressed | F | 32 | 1 months | 10/21/2014 | 1 | Hormone balance | Severe anxiety, insomnia, soaking night sweats, can't function due to dizzy nausea | It's been 3 weeks since I took my last pill , and a few days ago I started having night sweats and severe anxiety attacks that I had while on the pill. I can't get off the couch due to head spinning and full body tremors. My hormones are so wrecked still due to 10 days on this dangerous pill. I have missed a month of my life due to being so sick, sleep deprived, and anxiety ridden. I had my blood taken yesterday to see what is going on. I am so exhausted from shaking 3 days straight. Never take this pill. The negative effects last long after the last dose. Praying for relief and just want to wake up one morning and hug my kids without being covered in sweat and shaking like a crack addict. I am so sick of how this stoke my life and happiness. Hoping the new doctor can help me. | F | 41 | 10 days 20 1X day | 10/3/2014 | 1 | Hormone balance | Insomnia , feeling of low blood sugar, severe anxiety, the worst two weeks of my life , nervous, nausea, hair loss. | This pill completely screwed up my hormone balance. I thought I was unbalanced before. Boy I had no idea of the nightmare to follow after taking that first pill. The synthetic progesterone in this pill is not enough to balance women with deficiencies. It actually makes thing worse by completely stopping your body from producing any of its own progesterone. This equals extreme estrogen dominance. I thought I was dying. Shaking, sweating, for a week. After stopping the pill it took a month to recover. I still suffer from insomnia and low blood sugar. Hoping time will take this away. I had to start on progesterone cream to combat the anxiety attacks as well. Birth control pills are not the answer to mid life hormone balance! If your doctor tells you it is, google anxiety attacks after stopping birth control and cancer caused by excess estradiol and make an informed decision on your own. | F | 42 | 12 days 20 1X day | 9/26/2014 | 1 | Hormone balance | Can't sleep for more than 2 hours at a time then stay awake sweating all night,, fatigue, general feeling of no energy or motivation | I finished the first pack and can't bring myself to finish the next pack, I am not myself. I get irritated at the smallest thing, get dizzy spells where I can't stand up or concentrate. I just want to be me again. This sucks! I have no idea when my next period will be or how my hormones will react after stopping, but my family and friends are suffering due to my dwindling mental and physical health. | F | 26 | 21 days 10 1X day | 9/22/2014 |
