For women on Aviane, side effects questions?
23 Nov 2009
I am starting to take the pill Aviane to regulate my period, which I have had for close to four years. I have no real problem with taking it, but some of the side effects listed make me nervous. For those of you who use it, I would like to ask you if you have experienced the following, and if so, how severe were they:
Hair Loss
Weight Gain
Depression
Acne
Decrease in sex drive
These are the ones that worry me the most. Please let me know if they are very common/severe, or if they’re just little things I won’t really notice. Thank you!

2009 Nov 23 1I was on Aviane for seven years (2001-2007). Previous to that I was on a high-dose pill for seven years.
Not everyone experiences all of the side effects.
As for your list, I will indicate my experiences.
Hair Loss: No. This is a rare side effect.
Weight Gain: No. Not in my case. I had gained weight before I started the pill. Some women do experience weight gain from the pill though. You just have to be more careful about your weight - watching the fat you eat and exercising to compensate.
Depression: No. This is a rare side effect. It depends on your hormones.
Acne: No.
Decrease in sex drive: No.
