I take the generic version of alesse and am experiencing mood swings. should i switch to a lower dose birth control pill such as lo loestrin fe?

Low dose bcp's: Current bcp's have very low amounts of estrogen/progesterone analogs, so it is critical to take the active pills at the same time each evening (within the hour of taking the previous day's active pill) to avoid withdrawal from hormones , which can produce mood swings (like PMS). If this does not work, try another type of low dose bcp.
