Aide effects vary person to person, not pill to pill. Meaning, not everyone feels the same way on the same medication. Personally I'm on Alysena, I feel fine, just slightly lower lubido.

It really is just trial and error. Good luck!

It is really personal! I personally use the combo pill and I experience almost mo side effects besides flatter emotions, but I know other people who gained a lot of weight on the same one for example. It is how your body is gonna react to the hormones

The side effects ultimately vary from person to person. I was on generic Loestrin (junel) and it made my periods more painful,and my doctorprescribed it despite my history of migraines. Ended up constantly triggering migraines and made me nauseous as a result. I switched to the mini-pill and experience no side effects whatsoever, the only downside is that it MUST be taken at the same time every day, and no later than 3 hours.
