"i personally was on aviane for about 8 months. the first 3 months were pretty much flawless. i had a problem with my appetite to begin with, gained some weight and dropped it shortly in the next coming months. didn&#039;t experience any acne or stomach nausea. after three months my period got progressively worse. i had intense cramps and felt down right miserable. my entire body ached. aside from feeling awful i was miserable to be around. i had mood swings i&#039;ve never had before. aviane was driving me crazy on my periods. i felt like a different person. my friends, family and boyfriend could even tell i wasn&#039;t myself. just wanted to put this out there if someone was curious there are other options."
