"i have been on aviane for 5 months now. first few months were great, no side-effects. maybe i was slightly moody right before getting my period during the first month of starting the pill, but that&#039;s pretty much it. i experienced minimal spotting the 2nd month. however, i am now switching to yaz because this month i missed taking the pill by 1 hour, only 1 hour, and it caused me to have spotting, then resulted in getting my period while still taking active pills. i was concerned so i think the dose may be too light for me. but, i definitely recommend giving it a try, it may work for you. no weight gain, no mood swings, improved but didn&#039;t get rid of acne but this can also be related to the fact that the dose was too low for me."
