I was on the pill for the better part of 15 years. Some types worked better for me than others. My mood as well as my sex drive was altered in addition to the physical responses. I kept open communication with my doctors about problems when starting a new pill (Had to because of insurance and then when nursing and going back on the pill after not nursing). The typical response would be to give it 2-3 months for my body to adjust before they would adjust the dosage. Sometimes things did improve, other times it did not.

The brand I had to go off of due to my insurance not covering it was the best of them. After my boys were born my body had changed enough that what was right before no longer worked. In the end my husband got the old snippety snip so I no longer need it.
