My skin is crawling as well. Also, I am having nightmares every night and not sleeping because the nightmares continue when I shut my eyes again. What should I do?
>I would rather remain anonymous please. Thank you.

Kariva is a generic for Mircette not Alesse. Aviane is the generic for Alesse. These pills are completely different. Mircette/Kariva is a pill with higher progestational activity which can cause some women to feel more moody. Ask another pharmacist's opinion about the generic you're on and if it's correct. Good luck, Anne
