I feel I am RAGING with hormones. I get pissed with a drop of a dime. I find myself yelling at my kids and feeling such anger like never before! I've been on it for a month and haven't stopped bleeding and still get cramps. So far not liking it. I'm going to give it 3 months.

The Pharmacy switched me from Kariva to Azurette and it was fine for the 1st month.

The Pharmacy switched me from Kariva to Azurette and it was fine for the 1st month. After month 2 I began to experience ZERO libido, severe mood swings, feelings of sadness/depression, uncontrollable crying, vivid nightmares, extreme headaches. My periods came late, I began gaining about 5 lbs per month despite the fact I have a very active lifestyle, my boyfriend is a professional athlete so we're very active and have a very healthy diet. On the 4th month I gained 15 lbs IN ONE MONTH! Also have ZERO sex drive and again, my boyfriend is a gorgeous professional athlete and the greatest man on EARTH! Once I figured out what was wrong I called the doctor to have them clearly state "FILL AS PRESCRIBED/DO NOT SUBSTITUTE" on my Rx so that the Pharmacy does not switch me off of Kariva. If the Kariva is working for you, I'm very against switching to Azurette, save yourself the agony!

I'm really surprised at the reaction some have had when switching from Kariva to Azurette. I've had no reaction to the switch. My periods are perfectly regular, and I've had no other side effects.
