birth control and me

i've taken ortho cyclen for years because of a condition i have that causes cysts on the ovaries. after switching to the generic - sprintec, i've noticed a number of crazy ass side effects. i'm not pleased. i can't really afford the brand name since the price went up to about $50 from $5 about a year ago (thank you congress). the doctor's office have now called in a prescription for ovcon 35. after reading the reviews of its generic - balzivia or something, those side effects sound even worse. oh joy.
