Yeah: Birth control pills have a lot if side effects, which can vary based on the type of pill and person taking them. I would keep trying different ones until you find one that works for you.

Yes: Different pills use different combinations of synthetic hormones and women have individual reactions. Your symptoms may be related to the pill's estrogen level. A smaller amount of estrogen may help. Different pills use different chemical forms of progestin so you can try a different type. You may first want to try taking the pill at night then you might sleep through your symptoms.
