Aviane - Negative Effect On Mood?

Hello -

This is my first time on bc. I was prescribed Alesse (or generic) because it is low-dose. Anyway, I guess they've stopped making Alesse, so I ended up with Aviane. I've only been on it for two days, but already feel like it's affecting my mood in a negative way. A quick google search (for "aviane") told me that lots and lots of people experience side effects of anger with this pill.

I'm going to call the doctor tomorrow, but I'm really rethinking my choice in bc. I don't take any medication, so my body's not used to anything like this. I'm wondering if an IUD might be the way to go? Or maybe I just need a different pill? 

What do you ladies think? Can you recommend a pill with low side effects?

Thanks so much.. 

(eta: Thanks so much for all your advice! I'm going to stick it out for a couple of months and see how it goes. This mood stuff might be due to stress or something external, or just the giant influx of hormones, or both..)

i got switched to Aviane in a similar sort of way. i used to be on LevLite. this was about a year ago. long story short, i was pretty much insane for a month. haha. i cried over nothing, i even yelled at a professor in her office. but once that month was over, i was really happy with the switch.

i'd say stick with it. and good luck!
