Hi I have taken about every birth control pill out there and none seem to work for me however I woul reccomend ortho trycylen it helps with acne and seemed to give the least amount of symptoms. Expect to have some negative side affects for the first 4-6mths the docs say but as most of us know its usually longer also not smoking cutting caffine and lowering alcohol intake helps to ease the symptoms.
