Hey eveyone how are you doing? My girlfriend has been having trouble with the side effects of her birth control pillls. Actually, she had been taking one brand for 3 months, but her doctor prescribed a different brand when the side effects became unbearable. She has been two weeks into this new brand but the side effects are still really bad and she isn't sure whether or not she should stop taking the pills all together and just use condems or if she should keep trying different pills. The side effects included mood swings, depression, anger, and every little thing seems to bother her. Needless to say it has really been effecting both our lives.

So anyways here are my questions,

1) What has been your general experiance with birth control pills especially the side effects?
2) Did you or your sig. other have had to try many different pills before finding one that worked?
3) Did anyone of you have to stop taking the pills all together?
4) My girlfriend is of asian decent and she is a really small person, have you heard of that being a factor at all in the effects of birth control pills?

Thanks to all the reply,
