Switching brands right now probably wouldn't do much good because your body is still adjusting the the hormones in the pill anyway. It often takes about 3 months for your body to adjust - most people have more side effects in that time. It will probably get better after you start your second pack. The best thing to do is give it a little more time. If you're still not sure, you can call your doctor or clinic and talk to a nurse there. Three months seems to be the usual advice.
