Hi all. I’ve been on Aviane-28 for 4 weeks. I’ve noticed that I’m more angry than ever, sometimes even without any good reason. I’ve never been like this before…. I really don’t know what’s going on!!! Is it possible that aviane caused this??? I mean, can anger be side effect at all??? I don’t know what to do – please help…

Even though it may seem weird, it is true that aviane has one such side effect. Therefore, if aviane is the only med you’re using and there are no reasons for the anger, than it is most likely that you’re experiencing that side effect. Here is the list of all aviane side effects – check the list and see if you have more of them. If so. I would strongly recommend you see your doc and ask him for a possible replacement med.
The following side effects require immediate medical or emergency help: chest pain, coughing up blood, dizziness or fainting spells, leg, arm or groin pain, severe or sudden headaches, severe stomach pain, sudden shortness of breath, sudden loss of coordination, swelling of the hands, feet or ankles, or rapid weight gain, vision or speech problems, weakness or numbness in the arms or legs.
Other serious side effects: breast tissue changes or discharge, changes in vaginal bleeding during your period or between your periods, headaches or migraines, increases in blood sugar (especially if you have diabetes), increases in blood pressure, symptoms of vaginal infection (itching, irritation or unusual discharge), tenderness in the upper abdomen, vomiting, yellowing of the eyes or skin
Less severe side effects that do not require medical attention: breakthrough bleeding and spotting, breast tenderness, mild stomach upset, mood changes, anxiety, depression, frustration, anger, or emotional outbursts, increased or decreased appetite, increased sensitivity to sun or ultraviolet light, nausea, skin rash, acne, or brown spots on the skin, tiredness, weight gain.

Hi there...I have to say, I am glad I read your post. I too am on Aviane (for about four months) - and I definitely am experiencing the same anger issues. It is like I am an emotional hemophiliac - that is, once even the slightest thing upsets me, I can just snowball with intense, almost self-destructive, anger - I cant stop it. I also find myself becoming emotionally senstive and depressed with much lower sex drive. I used to be pretty happy-go-lucky, and now I am not.

Does anyone one out there also feel these things? Has it been traced back to Aviane? I am also taking Spinonalactone (sp?) for a combination of Polycistic Ovarian Syndrome.

Thanks!

I am also on Aviane and my husband just took my pack of pills because I have been so grumpy the past few days. It has been a few months since I started them and I think I noticed around month 2 or 3 that I seemed more touchy and less tolerant. I have three little boys, too, and it really affects the way I mother. I think I will get off of them.

I have been on Aviane for over a year. It has caused me to have horrible acne, some kind of skin rash on my back, mood swings, and for the first three months I was having my period for two weeks straight. I had previously been on Ortho-Tricyclen Lo for many years but could no longer afford it so I switched to Aviane, which was $30 cheaper per month. I can honestly say I HATE AVIANE and cannot wait to get off of it.

Yes I agree. I have been very moody; depressed rather and my skin is breaking out terribly. ive only been on aviane for 5 months but i hate it.
Id like to try other pills but to see if the have the same side effects but i dont think i can deal any more. Plus its just not good to mess with your body in this way.
my other side effects have been headaches, tiredness and weight gain and low sex drive. (my lucky husband!)
I wish i had a good solution!! ive only been married a few months and we are not quite ready to have a baby!

I just startes taking avine about 1 1/2 month ago. I have had breakthrough bleeding for 2 1/2 weeks out of the month. I also immedatly experienced a loss of appite and sex drive. But one good thing is that I had experience some facial hair growth during certian times of the month and that has greatlt tailored off. But I don't want to be out of commission for 2 1/2 weeks out fo the month. I'm considering trying a new bc.
Good luck!

I've been on Aviane for about 6 months, and have been more emotional than ever before. While logic tells me I'm an idiot, I'll start crying over commercials, situations that may or may not happen way down the road, etc. Not to mention I used to have really good skin, and now i breakout quite frequently. On the upside, my period is nil to none every month. It definitely doesn't outweigh the emotional swings. I think I'm going to be seeking another option tomorrow morning!
