"i started taking this about a year ago and boy i didn&#039;t realize how good it was until i switched to another medicine.  i started taking avianne two weeks ago on a fluke when i switched dr&#039;s and tried a new rx, and wow is it terrible! avianne has made me gain 5 lbs in 2 weeks, break out, have a longer period, and be extremely moody.  it made my boobs a little bigger which i liked but in no way is that worth the trade off.  i just called my dr. requesting to be put back on tri-previfem, which regulated my periods, and did not make me gain weight.  i have always heard horror stories about what birth control can do to you, but i never experienced it until i left tri previfem. can&#039;t wait to get back on it!"
