"i&#039;ve been on aviane for almost 3 months now, and i can&#039;t really complain.  i originally went on birth control to help my acne, which it kind of has, but not as much as i&#039;d hoped that it would.  i have lighter periods with no cramps, and i haven&#039;t gained any weight like everyone says you do when you go on the pill.  when i first went on it i went through a week or 2 where i was incredibly emotional--everything made me sad and i cried almost everyday about some stupid little thing, but that went away and i haven&#039;t had any problems with it since."
