(Closed) BC Switch: Loestrin FE 1/20 to Norgestimate-Ethinyl Estradiol

Loved Loestrin but switched when the generic, Junel, went on backorder for many months, and I was paying $50 or more each month for the name brand. Too expensive!

So, Doc put me on this other Ortho Tri Cyclen- Lo mthod, and I am wondering how similar it is. This is my first month using it, but my mood swings have increased like crazy! I have freaked out on Fiance for dumb stuff a LOT over these past 3 weeks…Is this what I am to expect from this bc from now on? Ladies who have used it or made the switch, please let me know what you think!

Dr claims it is supposedly similar, but I am not so sure since the hormones obviously fluctuate more.
