Kariva is the generic version of Mircette. I was on it a few years ago, and I LOVED it! I have tried many different pills and that was the only one that didn't make me gain weight or act crazy. I did have a lot of break-through bleeding at first, which was annoying. I'm going to get an Rx for it again, but I think this time I'm going to have them give me the brand name, Mircette, instead of Kariva, which is it's generic.

Good luck!
