So I've been taking Alesse for around 4 or 5 months now, and I decided to just get the generic kind called Aviane. I was just wondering if there was any really big difference between these two pills.. The pharmacist said they were the same thing, just the generic kind was cheaper.. so i decided why not. haha :) I'll be starting Aviane after I finish the placebo Alesse pills so I was just kinda curious..
